Rails - Jun 2012 - [Rails 3.2.5] Rails: unit test fixture_path : fixture_file_upload cannot find the file ...

I am trying to perform a test unit, using FactoryGirl

include ActionDispatch::TestProcess
FactoryGirl.define do
  factory :article do
    .......
    photo { fixture_file_upload ''/files/test.jpg'',
''image/jpg'' }
  end
end

IN mt test_helper.rb I defined the fixture_path

  def fixture_path
    File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/fixtures/"    # "..../myapp/test/
fixtures/"
  end

and I have my test.jpg  in    "..../myapp/test/fixtures/files/
test.jpg"

but running the unit test,  article = FactoryGirl.build(:article,
title: nil), I get an error  :
RuntimeError: files/test.jpg file does not exist


where should I put the file for ''fixture_file_upload'' can find
it ?

thanks for feedback

I looked into :  actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/testing/
test_process.rb

    def fixture_file_upload(path, mime_type = nil, binary = false)
      fixture_path = self.class.fixture_path if self.class.respond_to?
(:fixture_path)
      Rack::Test::UploadedFile.new("#{fixture_path}#{path}",
mime_type, binary)
    end

it''s trying to get the fixturePath from self.class  ( Article in this
case)  which doesn''t respond to fixture_path
however the correct path is given by
ActionController::TestCase.fixture_path

so using the trick:
     photo { fixture_file_upload
"#{ActionController::TestCase.fixture_path}files/test.jpg",
''image/
jpg'' }
runs well... but I guess it''s just a trick, the
''truth'' is somewhere
else ..... ?
how can I relate the fixture_path with the self.class

thanks for your feedback
