Is there any way I can require a small set of data be in the test database before any tests are run? (unit, functional, integration, cucumber, etc) Any way besides using fixtures, that is. Overload a rake task? Modify test_helper? Any ideas?

Look at rake db:seed as one alternative. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

So, 1.upto(10) do Model.make # Machinist end That sort of thing. It''s good to put in a setup step. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
