Hi, I have some functional tests that require XML input that gets set into the RAW_POST_DATA. I would like to get the XML for each tests from files (to save having lots of XML in my test.rb. Is there anything in the testing framework to handle this, or should I just load the file manually?

We use it to test paperclip (which is the best way to store uploaded files we have seen so far): def test_upload_one_document image = MockUpload.new("image.pdf") owner = owners(:a_document_owner) doc = assert_latest owner.documents do post :edit_owner, :owner_id => owner.id, :document => image end assert{ doc.image_file_name =~ /image.pdf/ } end If you don''t mean that, then just write a folder in test/fixtures and put XML files in it, then write a test helper method to load them into your params. -- Phlip --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

That''s basically what I ended up doing, but I was wondering if there was any test helpers already, or if there was a ''best practise'' way of doing it.
