Hello everybody, I wanted to bring testing to a higher level The first idea was calling a rake script from within the test_helper ... to be honest, I don''t have a clue how to do this ... though I''m probably not going to do this, I would love to know how I could if I wanted too. The second Idea was using using the Fixture script from Geoffrey Grosenbach. also in test_helper, this doesn''t work because he uses (obviously) the test database and not the development database Is there a possibility to call this script before RoR switches to test modus. Maybe the first thing wasn''t such a bad thing, because I reuse the code which is written for rake... I could just copy paste it to the helper ... but it''s already somewhere so it sounds like duplication. Anybody on automating creation of test_data / fixtures from the development database ? Kind Regards, Jeroen van Doorn
