As long as you understand the difference. In my example, the idea is that I'm testing two things to make sure they are the EXACT value I expect. In your example, the idea is that you don't care what value they have, just that they are equal. If @merlot.winery_id and @merlot.winery.id both have a value of 4 then my tests will fail and yours will pass. The way you decide to write your tests will determine if that distinction makes a difference or not. @Denis: Yes, that would work too. As long as you understand the difference.

def test_relationships
# belongs_to :winery
assert_equal(1, @merlot.winery_id)
assert_equal(1, @merlot.winery.id)
[...]

Could we just write this?
def test_relationships
# belongs_to :winery
assert_equal(@merlot.winery.id, @merlot.winery_id)
[...]

Thanks
Denis
