Hi,
I would like to test a sorting method that is in the user model, it''s
a class method called search.
What I would like to do is create 2 users and load the test database
with just those 2 users, so that I can call
User.search("john") and it would return those two users.
Not sure how to clear the test database and populate it just with
these 2 users for that specific spec.
Thanks in advance!
Rai

Wow, Thanks Dave, that worked :) I had tried before deleting all users and creating a couple of new ones, was wondering why it didn''t work. The problem was that I was using the create method instead of create!, thus, my users where silently being validated and not saved, as I was missing the password parameters and the such. Thanks again! Keep up the great work with rSpec!

You may want to create a factory method to create users with valid
parameters, overriding any parameters by passing in options.
ALPHA = (''a''..''z'').to_a +
(''A''..''Z'').to_a
def random_text
txt = ""
10.times do
txt << ALPHA[rand(52)]
end
txt # maybe a returning block? can''t remember if that works here
end
def create_user(options={})
User.create!({ :name => random_text,
:password => random_text}.merge(options))
end

Ok, if you want to do it messy and uninformed, do it my way. ;) I''ve heard of Fixture Scenarios but I heard they were broken with edge rspec, but I''ll check out Exemplar, ModelStubbing, and FixtureReplacement.

Hi guys, Thanks for the help, will check out Exemplar and ModelStubbing, for the moment this screencast about FixtureReplacement looks very useful. http://railsnewbie.com/files/fixture_replacement_demo.mov Rai On Nov 20, 2007, at 5:27 PM, Nathan Sutton wrote:> Ok, if you want to do it messy and uninformed, do it my way. ;) > > I''ve heard of Fixture Scenarios but I heard they were broken with edge > rspec, but I''ll check out Exemplar, ModelStubbing, and > FixtureReplacement. > > Nathan Sutton > fowlduck at gmail.com > rspec edge revision 2910 > rspec_on_rails edge revision 2909 > rails edge revision 8167 > > > > > > On Nov 20, 2007, at 10:22 AM, Scott Taylor wrote: > >> >> On Nov 20, 2007, at 11:20 AM, David Chelimsky wrote: >> >>> On Nov 20, 2007 10:20 AM, David Chelimsky <dchelimsky at gmail.com> >>> wrote: >>>> On Nov 20, 2007 10:18 AM, Nathan Sutton <nathan.sutton at gmail.com> >>>> wrote: >>>>> You may want to create a factory method to create users with valid >>>>> parameters, overriding any parameters by passing in options. >>>>> >>>>> ALPHA = (''a''..''z'').to_a + (''A''..''Z'').to_a >>>>> >>>>> def random_text >>>>> txt = "" >>>>> 10.times do >>>>> txt << ALPHA[rand(52)] >>>>> end >>>>> txt # maybe a returning block? can''t remember if that >>>>> works here >>>>> end >>>>> >>>>> def create_user(options={}) >>>>> User.create!({ :name => random_text, >>>>> :password => random_text}.merge >>>>> (options)) >>>>> end >>>> >>>> There are also tools that will do this for you: Exemplar, >>>> ModelStubbing to name two. >>> >>> Actually - those are geared towards avoiding the DB.
