When I run rake against Rails 8.5 to test unaltered model tests with yaml fixtures I get the error and stack trace reproduced below for every one of my model objects. Has anyone seen something this before? Any idea what could be going on here? The following ruby-talk thread may or may not be relevant: http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/95301. Thanks much,

When I run unit tests with a syntax error in one of my models (in this case, it was an unterminated quote), I get this error, which suggests to me that whatever code is autoloading the model while it''s loading my fixtures is masking the error (I don''t get any notification of the syntax error, here, nor in the log).

I am trying to create unit tests for my users model but when I add a test that destroys a user, that user is not available in any of the other test. If I remove the test that destroys the user all my other tests work again. All the fixtures are suppose be reloaded between tests right? Here is my testcase : require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper'' class UserTest

Can anyone point me to an easy way to load fixture data into the development (not test) database? - Tim __________________________________ Celebrate Yahoo!''s 10th Birthday! Yahoo! Netrospective: 100 Moments of the Web http://birthday.yahoo.com/netrospective/

I was trying to deal with foreign key issues related to order of fixture loading when I came across this: http://techpolesen.blogspot.com/2007/04/rails-fixture-tips.html This got me looking deeper into rails and I noticed that db:fixtures:load calls Fixtures.create_fixtures once for each fixture file. However, Fixtures.create_fixtures is capable of taking multiple files and also handle the

I''ve been trying to add unit testing for collection of models with complex relationships -- and failing miserably. Because of the complexity of the relationships, I''m using a database which validates foreign key constraints (PostgreSQL 8). I''m finding it nearly impossible to generate tests that are independent of each other. The basic problem is the DELETE then

I can''t get fixtures to load correctly in a Mosquito test. The first fixture loads in the unit test, but the rest don''t load at all. File structure: tracker/ tracker.rb test/ test_tracker.rb fixtures/ tracker_measurements.yml tracker_projects.yml Relevant test code: require ''rubygems''

I''m using the runt library [1] to do some temporal expression matching. I want to keep the expression in a binary field in my db. I figured that then in order to do the fixtures, I''d need to do some erb in the yaml file. So I came up with this: onetime: id: 1 name: One Time description: This event occurs only one time. timex: <%= REYear.new(7) & REMonth.new(24)

Maybe I''m not getting fixtures, but... I''m having problems as I start using fixtures in functional tests. Data is left in my test database after running functional tests. Not the data created by the test-method (I''m using transactional fixtures), but data from the fixtures themselves. Fixture loading will delete & reload the data again when the test is re-run, but

I have a bunch of fixtures designed to populate the database for my Cucumber integration tests. But at this stage I want my database to be empty when using Rspec. So, I moved the fixtures from `/spec/fixtures` to `features/support/fixtures`, and updated `features/support/env.rb` to read: Fixtures.reset_cache fixtures_folder = File.join(RAILS_ROOT, ''features'',

Hi all, I''ve got some tables with fixed amounts of data in them (a "states" table, for example). For tables like this I can easily put *all* of the data in the fixture. For general futzing purposes, and for those times I want to reload a database from scratch outside of testing (for whatever reason), what''s the best approach? I thought perhaps ActiveRecord::Base had

Hi! I am quite new to BDD and I just wrote my first tests. Suddenly I received unexpected results because in a model test I load only users-fixtures but when the views-fixtures in which I load the posts-fixtures, are run before this model-test, the posts-fixtures are loaded too. I test for example if there is one record in the posts-table after creating one post. But when there are fixtures

I want to organize my fixtures just like the namespace of my models. So for example if I have a model Company::Employee I''d like the fixture to be in fixtures/company/employees.yml. However, I can''t figure out how to specify the path of the fixture file. If I do: fixtures :employees in my unit test it can''t find the fixture file. Any suggestions? Thanks, Todd

Heya, I''m using globalize2 and have following problem with my fixtures: categories.yml: one: parent_id: two color: #ff00aa two: color: #00ff11 three: parent_id: two color: #ab00ab category_translations.yml one-en: id: one locale: en name: Cars one-es: id: one locale: es name: Coches two-en: id: two locale: en name: Start two-es: id: two locale: es

I was planning on using a fixture within a description that didn''t modify the fixture, so I put it in a before(:all) block: describe "Customer", "xml" do fixtures :customers before(:all) do one = customers(:one) end # ... As a result, I got this message: 1) NoMethodError in ''Customer xml before(:all)'' You have a nil object when you

I am running into some issues with my functional tests because they need info from almost every single table in the database. I have long laundry lists of fixture names to include on these test files and then I have to troubleshooot bizarre test failures because of a fixture that was not included. So is there a way to simply include all fixtures in a test? Something like: fixtures :all

I''m having (to me) a strange problem with errors when running my tests with rake as opposed to using ruby. If I do rake test:units I get this error for several tests, but not all: 13) Error: test_player_has_game_statistics_for_season(PlayerSeasonTest): ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Mysql::Error: Duplicate entry ''22'' for key 1: INSERT INTO positions (`name`, `id`,

Hi, Is it possible to populate the development database from the test fixtures? I''m trying to keep the development database schema in a plain-text sql file and modifying that when I need to modify the database structure. However, then I have to either manually repopulate the database or add in additional sql statements that populate the test database. It seems like it would be useful

I have some fixtures set up to put a few records in some of my tables. In some of my rspec describe blocks, i''m *not* calling the fixtures, and expecting the tables to be empty. But they''re not - the fixture data is in there. Am i using fixtures wrongly? I thought that the db was wiped at the start of every test and the fixtures were only added if asked for. Is that not the

All, I''ve been playing a bit with some patches to make the fixture loading and management code a little bit easier to maintain. If I were to start chopping out features, how would you feel about losing: Fixture instantiation, Old school single-file fixtures, CSV fixtures, The ability to specify a subset of fixtures (everything''s always loaded instead), The ability to
