In my daily development, I migrate back and forth between versions, and often do: rake load_fixtures... ... in order to populate my development database with fun data. Now, with any HABTM relationship, there are failures, as there is no way to say "which" fixtures to load first. Within an actual functional or unit test case, you could simply load them in the proper order, but

Hi, My application spans 2 (or more) databases for some very specific reasons... My models are working fine, even dynamically establishing connections as needed at runtime, and spanning relationships across the databases (which really impressed me). The problem is, I can''t seem to force Units for these models (that use a secondary db) to load their fixtures into and use the

I have two models Club and users. users are regular authenticated users and some of them might create a club. A club can also have members (essentially users) and there are attributes and models that apply to member but not to users. Here is what I have right now. Club => belongs_to :user User => has_many clubs (since a user can host multiple clubs). Now how do I fit this member model

Sorry about the very long email, but this is a hairy topic that''s been annoying me for some time and I decided to try to do something about. Also, if you got this twice, I apologize too, but it didn''t seem to have successfully gone out the first time. Background: ---------- I''ve been dealing with Rails for about a year and a half now. I''ve been using

I''m fairly new to Rails, and I''ve been learning from AGILE WEB DEVELOPMENT WITH RAILS. Everything has been going smoothly until the chapter on Unit Testing, where I''m getting some strange errors. I''m up to page 141 in the Agile book, and attempting to run the test program containing the method test_read_with_hash. The previous tests work properly, but I

Hello all, I''m having some issues with my test fixtures and unit tests and am hoping somebody has an idea about how to fix it. Background: I have a table in my legacy database called tp_approval_step. For this table I have a fixture called tp_approval_step.yml I have a model called ApprovalProcessStep that uses set_table_name ''tp_approval_step'' In my test file,

Hello All, I am experiencing the following test unit error working with Rails that I can''t fathom. I have a products.yml file which holds the following test fixture for the products table: dell_pc: id: 1 title: Dell PC description: Dell PC image_url: http://.../pc_image.jpg price: 15000.00 date_available: 2005-12-31 06:53:00 I also have the following product_test.rb file to

Howdy, I''m attempting my first rails test & I could use some help... I have the test posted at http://rafb.net/paste/results/YjWkIh45.html... when I run it, the test fails, but the db table is never restored & it seems that the fixtures file was never loaded... Any ideas as to what I''m doing wrong? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hey all, I''m following along with AWDWR, specifically the unit testing. On page 148, it shows you how Test::Unit::TestCase will automatically define instance variables based on your fixtures. It doesn''t seem to actually work, though. It seems that both @artists ["beatles"]["name"] and @beatles.name are nil objects in my test, where as

Hi all, I have a problem with unit test database data reload. I have several test_xxx function in my ruby unit test file I would like to know why xxxx.yml containing test data are load only 1 time for all the test while specification say it done for before each test method. Thus my test_xxx are dependant of previous test This is a mistake, because the specs say the test data are reload

One problem I sort of always had with the ActiveRecord''s tight coupling to the SQL backend is how slow it makes the unit tests. OK, there are some ways to make it faster at a price of extra complexity (reusing the fixtures, doing a rollback in the end of the test, etc), but still - it is much slower than what I would like a unit test to be. Today I had a very simple idea (why, oh why

Hello, I am exploring the "Testing" part of Rails, but It seems some things work differently than I thought it would. Consider the following model: class Client < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :project def after_create Project.new(:name => self.name, :is_client => true, :client_id => self.id).save end def after_update

I''m finally getting beyond using basic test fixtures, and a few questions have popped up. Has anyone found ways to do these? 1. Use a test fixture that is named differently from its table name? We''d like to have more than one possible fixture per table. (Or perhaps use test fixtures named similarly but in different directories.) 2. Load a test fixture for one test method only

Hallo -- can anyone offer me any pointers as to I should handle many-to-many relationships in Rails tests? Cheers, doug. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

RSpec-ers: I''m aware this is quite the FAQ. I have probably asked it myself, but I just can''t Google up anything but others asking it. I grabbed the source to Beast, to use as a Rails project uninfluenced by me, or RSpec. Then I installed the CURRENT version of RSpec and rspec_on_rails, and set up a model spec on Post. Here''s the spec_helper.rb lines:

Heya, I''m using globalize2 and have following problem with my fixtures: categories.yml: one: parent_id: two color: #ff00aa two: color: #00ff11 three: parent_id: two color: #ab00ab category_translations.yml one-en: id: one locale: en name: Cars one-es: id: one locale: es name: Coches two-en: id: two locale: en name: Start two-es: id: two locale: es

I''m running Rails 3 and I''m trying to populate a table using rake db:fixtures:load, and I''m getting a "Could not find" file error. The table is called stores, and I''ve confirmed that it exists, and the data is in stores.yml in my test/fixtures directory. The command I''m running is rake db:fixtures:load FIXTURES=stores.
