similar to: relationships in text fixtures

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:

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. The error message

I am attempting to do selective fixture loading against my test database. When I run rake db:fixtures:load FIXTURES=DataSetInfo I get no output. (A full trace is below). I''m trying to figure out why nothing happens. 1) Does the command above attempt to operate against my test database? 2) DataSetInfo is the name of my table and the name of my yml file I generated these YAML

I''m finding that its a pain to create yml files for tests where there are relationships between tables/classes. For example, I might have something like this: vehicle.yml red_ford: id:1 owner_id:2 owner.yml ford_owner: id:2 address_id:5 address.yml home_address: id:5 etc. To build up complex test relations, I have to edit all three files, keeping track of the ids /

I''ve got some problems right now using the new model for relationships in fixtures (by label, not by id) and STI. What I''ve got, is a couple of models: Attachment --> FileDownload Version Version has_one file_download with file_download_id on the versions table In my fixtures, I have two FileDownloads in my attachments.yml like so: hemingway_alpha_zip: size: 100

Hi all I''d like to create fixtures using Fixtures.create_fixtures But it seems that this one needs .yml files that have the same name like the table they correspond to: countries.yml => my_db.countries readers.yml => my_db.readers Is it possible to use any desired filenames somehow? some_cool_countries.yml => my_db.countries some_other_cool_countries.yml =>

I have a bunch of fixtures designed to populate the database for my Cucumber integration tests. But at this stage I want my database to be empty when using Rspec. So, I moved the fixtures from `/spec/fixtures` to `features/support/fixtures`, and updated `features/support/env.rb` to read: Fixtures.reset_cache fixtures_folder = File.join(RAILS_ROOT, ''features'',

Hi all. I have a question on accessing fixtures by name. I''m doing integration testing very similar to what is described in Jamis''s excellent writeup at http://jamis.jamisbuck.org/articles/2006/03/09/integration-testing-in-rails-1-1. The problem is that I am using ordered yml fixtures so that rake loads each element in the correct sequence. I need to do this because my

I can''t get fixtures to load correctly in a Mosquito test. The first fixture loads in the unit test, but the rest don''t load at all. File structure: tracker/ tracker.rb test/ test_tracker.rb fixtures/ tracker_measurements.yml tracker_projects.yml Relevant test code: require ''rubygems''

Is there anyway to refer to the entities being linked in a foreign key field of a fixture by name instead of id? Ie, if I have categories.yml some_cat: id: 1 name: Foo other_cat: id: 2 name: Bar data.yml some_item: id: 1 category_id: <%= categories(:some_cat).id %> name: Hello World The above doesn''t work due to scope, even if the fixtures are loaded in the proper

Is there a way to use table name other than the default or to turn it around have multiple fixture files associated to the same table. Here''s my use case: I have multiple unit test classes that all work with the same model class and hence the same database table. However, for each test class I want the data to be in a different state. So I''d like to have something like class

This is Rails 2.0.2 I have two yaml fixture files, both loading into ARs with acts_as_tree, so they both have the !!omap directive set. One, categories.yml, loads just fine. The other goes very weird, somehow fixtures.rb opens the file, reads "name: All" from the first record, and then tries to open a file called "All", which then fails miserably on line . I can''t

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

Hi. I''ve come across the following documentation: Note that YAML fixtures are unordered. If you want ordered fixtures, use the omap YAML type. See yaml.org/type/omap.html for the specification. You will need ordered fixtures when you have foreign key constraints on keys in the same table. This is commonly needed for tree structures. Example: --- !omap - parent: id:

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

Just released a very simple plugin for including all fixtures in your tests. Once you have a large number of table, manually managing the fixtures for every single test stub can be quite tedious. Use as follows class BlogArticleTest < Test::Unit::TestCase all_fixtures def test_foo ... end end Couldn''t be easier. More info here:

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

Hi, I''m trying to write some integration tests for my app and am having some troubles getting past the initial login. Here is what my fixture looks like users.yml user_001: id: "7" login: testuser001, email: testuser001@example.com, state: 2, password: b78d41e7ccb8da412f4f66f754121667, password_salt: 78cKRniDIo, password_hash_type: md5 I took the password and

I have a test/fixtures/users.yml like so: apa: id: 1 username: apa [...] created_at: <%=Time.now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")%> updated_at: <%=Time.now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")%> I don''t like how I''m repeating myself with the strftime bit. Is there some shorter Time method to format time for a (MySQL) datetime field that

Hi, I want to add data from a fixture file to a table inside a migration. I''ve saved the file in db/migrate/fixtures/countries.yml I guess I could just open the file, read the entries, and add them to the database using AR, but I''m hoping I can use Rails for all that. Also, if I have a file, say, with 200,000+ records, what would be the best method (performance-wise) to go
