Rails - Aug 2006 - All Fixtures plugin

Just released a very simple plugin for including all fixtures in your 
tests.  Once you have a large number of table, manually managing the 
fixtures for every single test stub can be quite tedious.

Use as follows

  class BlogArticleTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
    all_fixtures
    def test_foo
      ...
    end
  end

Couldn''t be easier.  More info here:

It works by simply scanning the fixtures directory for *.yml files, and 
converts it to an array of symbols that gets passed to the fixtures 
method.  Performance seems identical with and without.

Hope it makes someone life easier.

Nice. I like this code to gather the fixture files, but it''s just a
different taste.

fixture_list = Dir.entries(File.join(RAILS_ROOT,
''test/fixtures'')).inject([]) do |array, file|
  array << $`.to_sym if file =~ /\.yml$/
  array
end
