similar to: preload test data from factory_girl

I am working on my first Rails BDD project with extensive tests since starting out with Rails a few years ago. Running RSpec or Cucumber is really slow. I''m using Rails 3 and RSpec 2. To run one model spec with only 5 tests takes almost 1 minute! When it finishes it says it took only 0.9 seconds to run the actual test. So obviously it is loading the environment that takes so long. I just

I''m stymied at how to create a fixture that establishes a has_many :through relationship. I''ve watched the railscast at: http://media.railscasts.com/videos/081_fixtures_in_rails_2.mov ... but that''s for HABTM relationships. I''ve read: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/145676 but that ultimately doesn''t answer any question. So with no further ado:

Is there any way I can require a small set of data be in the test database before any tests are run? (unit, functional, integration, cucumber, etc) Any way besides using fixtures, that is. Overload a rake task? Modify test_helper? Any ideas? (Simple Case: I have to have a minimal set of user roles defined before any users can be created) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

Hi All Need some brilliants minds here :) I''m using Rails 2.3.8 & ruby 1.8 (I know, I know... ) I''ve move my gems from .gems to Bundler, but I''m having some issues with Factory_girl when I rake spec "uninitialized constant Factory" I''m following the instructions from http://gembundler.com/rails23.html. Basically: - grab all config.gem and place

Railsters: Despite Rails being the only Web platform designed for TDD, a lot of its test infrastructure is still "cargo cult" - imitating other test rigs instead of understanding their principles. Most importantly, tests should run instantly. There''s no excuse for breaking this rule, and if you invent a platform that can''t obey it then you are doing something

I started doing this: $ RAILS_ENV=test script/console >> load ''test/unit/models/example_test.rb''; r = Test::Unit::TestResult.new; reload!; ExampleTest.new(:test_example1).run(r) { |c,v| }; pp results and then just hit up arrow and run that same line again over and over in script/console. That way I can make changes to the test and app code, and don''t have to

Hope this should be simple: I have a User model and a Role model. Factories for each. When I create a User using FG, I want to assign a specific role. Cant seem to figure out how to do this, getting errors like: uninitialized constant SysadminRole for doing things this way: Factory.define :user do |u| u.practice_id { |a| a.association(:practice).id } u.password ''password1''

Hi, I follow the instructions below to set up a git repository with gitosis on my home ubuntu server. I can connect to the repository remotely perfectly and set up a new repository named My_Project. I successfully push the content of My_Project to this repository using the remote computer with an SSH key. Now I want to clone My_Project locally onto another directory within the unbuntu server.

Hello, I wanted to know how to load dummy data in the application using Factory girl. I had done this using Fixtures.I had made a fixtures folder into the test folder and run the command "rake test fixtures:load" Currently i tried using factories in the spec which is working fine. Wanted to know know regarding loading dummy data. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Here''s my issue: running ruby -I test test/unit/something_test.rb for each of my unit tests works perfectly. However, running rake test:units brings errors in all of them - some object becomes nil for some reason. Why might this be happening? Specifics: the object that is successfully not nil when I run the unit tests one-by-one but becomes nil when I do rake test:units is defined like

I''m writing a web app which is used a SaS. Each customer has their own db and app directory. I have a rake task which creates all necessary minimum data to run their website: default rights and roles, a superadmin user, a "us_states" table already populated, some local depots and terminals (it''s a logistics app). I don''t have any cucumber scenarios for it and

I have narrowed my problem in a prior topic (I''m having trouble with Routes) to the fact that I get the problem, below only when I reload my page. Clicking on links to go to the pages I want ... I seem not to have problems. Given that it seems to be a reload that is generating an "/undefined" path somewhere ... can anyone suggest what I should be looking for to fix the

I am working my way through Agile web development with rails and I''m in the testing chapter. when I run the following test(or any other test) I''m new and not sure where to start looking. require ''test_helper'' class ProductTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase # Replace this with your real tests. test "the truth" do assert true end end 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,

Hey, can somebody tell me why my test database is always empty after I run "rake test" but not after I test single test files? My rake db:seed for the test database takes like 6 minutes and I don''t really wanna reseed it every time I run "rake test". Is it possible to not let "rake test" truncate my database? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --

Hello, Hope no one minds me just jumping in here with a question. I''m completely new to Ruby on Rails. I''ve been reading "Simply Rails 2", and following their examples. I reached a point where the unit tests were unexpectedly failing. Upon investigation, I discovered that when Rails loads the fixtures, the foreign keys aren''t being populated with the foreign

I have a controller test here: http://gist.github.com/275616, which works fine when account is an independent model, however I want: an account to be a property of user, ( and created and associated when a user is) when the user goes to /account/edit it should on edit the account of the logged in user - I can make rails do this, but I''m utterly baffled how I should alter this test to

hello to all I been working on this from past few days. .I am talking about separate migration for each one of the multiple database that a single rails application has connection with.I know that rails can work with multiple databases but what with migrations for e.g my main rails application has a connection to two databases 1> main_development 2> secondary_development Know suppose i

If I have belongs_to :user Do I need to have validates_presence_of :user_id ? Does Rails validate the presence of :user_id automatically if I have belongs_to :user? In other words, does Rails prevent against creating orphan records that belong to non-existent users? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
