similar to: Maintain foreign key linkages in fixtures...

Hi, I am currently coding my tests and I made a lot of fixture files. To make everything simple (I thought), I didnt put the ID in the fixture, insted when I needed to put the id of something, I used Class.find_by_name "name of the item to find". When I use the file to import data in my migration everything is fine. But when I use the same files for my unit test, there is a

I''ve got a spec that loads a fixture in the "before" block. This works fine running scripts/spec, but when I run rake spec instead, I get: ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in ''User in fixture :quentin with an IM service but no IM name should be invalid'' Mysql::Error: Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails

Hello, i am trying to fix the code for fixtures in rails because it is buggy and internal variable names are confusing, could somebody please explain to me what is the intended purpose of Fixture and Fixtures classes respectively? For example, why do we need both `Fixtures.initialize`and `Fixture.initialize`? They both "initialize" a single fixture, and in fact `Fixture.initialize`

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

I want to organize my fixtures just like the namespace of my models. So for example if I have a model Company::Employee I''d like the fixture to be in fixtures/company/employees.yml. However, I can''t figure out how to specify the path of the fixture file. If I do: fixtures :employees in my unit test it can''t find the fixture file. Any suggestions? Thanks, Todd

Any idea why this fixture would fail to load any data? <% %w( Admin Pharmacist PI/Co-PI Research\ Nurse ).each { |g| Group.create( :name => g ) } %> It works perfectly in irb but when I do rake db:fixtures:load I get no data, no errors, and no error logs. I realize my fixture doesn''t look like your typical run-of-the-mill fixture but it''s that way because I''m

Hi, I have a fixture in a unit test and I see that the fixture is loaded correctly into the database table, but no instance variables are created. So now I''m stuck. More background: this is my first RoR project and I have just installed the SaltedLoginGenerator and generated its output. Running the unit tests gives an error, so I cut it down to just 1 test:

I am running into some issues with my functional tests because they need info from almost every single table in the database. I have long laundry lists of fixture names to include on these test files and then I have to troubleshooot bizarre test failures because of a fixture that was not included. So is there a way to simply include all fixtures in a test? Something like: fixtures :all

Hello, in my database i have tables models,marques,cars. I wrote fixtures for models f1: id: 1 marque_id: 1 name: 100 NX f2: id: 2 marque_id: 1 name: 200 SX f3: id: 3 marque_id: 1 name: Almera f4: id: 4 marque_id: 1 name: Patrol f5: id: 5 marque_id: 1 name: Primera f6: id: 6 marque_id: 2 name: CLK f7: id: 7 marque_id: 2 name: CLS f8: id: 8 marque_id:

I''m using the runt library [1] to do some temporal expression matching. I want to keep the expression in a binary field in my db. I figured that then in order to do the fixtures, I''d need to do some erb in the yaml file. So I came up with this: onetime: id: 1 name: One Time description: This event occurs only one time. timex: <%= REYear.new(7) & REMonth.new(24)

Hallo -- I have the most bizzare problem. I have a test called PropertyTest that runs absolutely fine. Even if I totally clear the test database before running it, it happily scoots off, loads all necessary fixtures, runs & passes all tests. My problem arises when I run rake test:units. Then, all other tests pass fine, but this one starts failing as if the fixture data simply

I''ve been trying to add unit testing for collection of models with complex relationships -- and failing miserably. Because of the complexity of the relationships, I''m using a database which validates foreign key constraints (PostgreSQL 8). I''m finding it nearly impossible to generate tests that are independent of each other. The basic problem is the DELETE then

Hi, At the minute all my fixtures have the same name as the table that they are intended for, because of a recent issue with rails it doesn''t seem possible to have a fixture beginning with the word ''test'' Does anyone know of a way to have a different fixture name and then map it to the correct table?

Hello, I have a table of zipcodes that I am using in my application, so there are approximately 50,000 rows in this table. I have dumped the table to a fixture yaml file to represent this data, but when I try to load it, I get this error: SystemStackError: stack level too deep Is there a max size allowed for a fixture file..? Here is the --trace output: rake db:fixtures:load --trace **

I was planning on using a fixture within a description that didn''t modify the fixture, so I put it in a before(:all) block: describe "Customer", "xml" do fixtures :customers before(:all) do one = customers(:one) end # ... As a result, I got this message: 1) NoMethodError in ''Customer xml before(:all)'' You have a nil object when you

hi all, trying my first foray into testing and having trouble with accessing the fixture instance variable built a test for my NewsRelease model. have a news_releases.yml as a fixture with: first: id: 1 title: my first release body: this is still my first test of a news release publish: 0 date_publication: 2006-06-06 17:28:00 in news_release_test.rb, i have def setup

Hi all, I have a shopping application I am testing, and one of the models is an Order model, within which a credit card number is encrypted and stored in the db (mysql) as a BLOB field. When trying to run my unit tests, I cannot get my model fixtures to load the encrypted data. If, in my dynamic fixture (YAML) file, I could have access to my app''s models, the problem would be trivial..

I have set up some fixtures in test/fixtures/users.xml: # Read about fixtures at http://ar.rubyonrails.org/classes/Fixtures.html admin: id: 1 username: admin password: admin pbarry: id: 2 username: pbarry I have a unit test for my user model: require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper'' class UserTest < Test::Unit::TestCase fixtures :users def

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:
