Rails - Jul 2006 - Creating performance test fixtures from development db? How?

Hi all!

I''m looking into the testing chapter of Agile Web Development With
Rails
(2nd ed.).
I want to performance test my app, but I''m too lazy to write fixtures
for
performance test.
I''d rather use the data from my development db (because the data is so
close
to the production data).
How do I get the data into the test db without writing fixtures?

Could you please point me to an example of how to do this?

Thanks!

You want the to_fixture plugin.

Thanks Dan.
I''ll look into that right away. Hopefully it has support for HABTM
relations
too.

Once again, thanks for your fast answer.

Oh darn.
The plugin doesn''t really manage to save decent fixtures of my UTF-8
tables.
The fixtures just don''t work when running the tests afterwards. Any
ideas?

Here''s what I tried so far:

I''ve tried converting the .rb files in the plugin to UTF-8 still no
success.


Right now, I''m testing with the word "Caf?" (accent over the
"e"), and it
goes out in the Yaml file as: "Caf\xC3\xA9"

Error trace from my rake test below:
(where "\xC3\xB8" should have been the Danish letter "?", o
slash )

Any thoughts on how to make it work?

Exception: a YAML error occured parsing
./config/../test/fixtures/competences.yml.
Please note that YAML must be consistently indented using spaces. Tabs are
not allowed. Please have a look at http://www.yaml.org/faq.html
The exact error was:  ArgumentError: syntax error on line 1198, col 41: `:
