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

Hi I am trying to create a plug-in to fix the error in the rails core produced by the multiple delete on a HABTM relationship. I have confirmed that my plug-in is being included into the base during runtime however the code does not seem to be overridding the base class. module ActiveRecord module Associations module ClassMethods def has_and_belongs_to_many(association_id, options =

Hi, I''ve been trying to update Will Sobel''s sybase-ctlib adapter to pass unit tests on Rails 1.0. It''s been a slow, sloggy process for me so far, as I''ve been learning Ruby, Rails, and Sybase administration all in one go. (c: It''s been a saving grace to have a good starting point (thanks Will!). http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/2030

I have a functional test class that uses the "topics" fixture. I verified that the fixture is loaded into the database by doing this: assert_equal 2, Topic.find_all.size So I should have an instance variable called @topics and instance variables for each of the rows in the fixture, in this case, @first and @another. But all those variables are nil inside my test method. Is that

Hi all, Rails 1.0 Postgresql 8.1 Ruby 1.8.4 Is there a way to reset sequences in unit tests when loading fixture data? I came across mention of a "Fixtures.reset_sequences method here: http://api.rubyonrails.com/files/vendor/rails/activerecord/CHANGELOG.html However, when I tried to call Fixtures.reset_sequences in the setup method, I got a NoMethodError. Any ideas? Thanks, Dan

Hi, I am trying to figure out an approach to load in our initial data into our database. I have written some load_data migrations which populate a lot of the stuff, how some of the database items are images etc and I am trying to figure out how to approach added them to the database during a rake db:migrate I am thinking if I store the files in a folder off the RAILS_ROOT I should be able to

I''m wondering what the accepted method for doing unit tests on STI models is. I tried to create a fixture for the class but Rails tries to load that data into the non-existent child table. I could create a fixture named for the real, parent table, but then it would be very difficult to test for the individual functionality and integrity of each sub-class. I saw this page

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

Hey, What way is the best to do imports of CSV files?

Hi, I''m wondering is there a way to load default data in the migration script? So, for example I''m creating new table to store the order status, I also want to pre-populate the table with some data from a sql file. I have done a quick search on the list but cannot find anything. thanks, - reynard -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hey guys, I''ve been trying to teach myself Rails by building a relatively complex app for work. I''ve started it twice and now I''m thinking about restarting it a third time. I need some help with some of my code. I''m creating an app to help us manage time. We have a number of developers on a number of teams who are assigned to any number of projects

I was trying to deal with foreign key issues related to order of fixture loading when I came across this: http://techpolesen.blogspot.com/2007/04/rails-fixture-tips.html This got me looking deeper into rails and I noticed that db:fixtures:load calls Fixtures.create_fixtures once for each fixture file. However, Fixtures.create_fixtures is capable of taking multiple files and also handle the

I recently underwent a (forced) schema change and had to change my "Keyword" class''s table name to "keywords_raw". Changing this in the model was no problem. All my existing unit tests obviously assumed everything was named "keywords" so I''m trying to change things to work, but I can''t figure out the right combo. I''ve tried

I have found useful to have the table information associated to models disp?ayed in the models and fixtures files of my rails applications. If you want to add this information to the spec_fixtures and specs add the following patch to your plugin. Index: vendor/plugins/annotate_models/lib/annotate_models.rb =================================================================== ---

I''m working with a legacy postgresql database where the names of tables, columns, etc., do not usually follow Rails conventions. I''ve been able to work around it for the most part, but I ran into this: I have the following test: require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper'' class SponsorTest < Test::Unit::TestCase self.use_transactional_fixtures =

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

Hi everyone! I have a question: what is the preferred way (in terms of simplicity) to test models with single table inheritance. Right now I have 1 test case and 1 fixture for all of the STI models, but it''s very hard to maintain it (too many tests and records in fixture). It would be better if fixtures could be named separately from DB tables. I know, Engines plugin has

Hi there, Is it just me or do many other rspec / rpsec_on_rails users spend more time than they would like feeding the framework ? Don''t get me wrong, I love rpsec, but I seem to spend about 2/3 hours per week hunting down rspec problems. For example, today `rake spec:models` is broken. When I migrate, load fixtures and run `spec -cfs` all is well. When I run `rake spec:models`,

I seem to be missing something trying to use ''validates_inclusion_of'' to validate a foreign key and was hoping some one could piont out my mistake? The problem seems to be that Order.find_all.collect is not returning an array that contains the order_id, if I replace it with a hardcoded array everything works as expected. The model: class OrderItem < ActiveRecord::Base

Ok, this is harder than I thought. I''ve got a hunk of XML coming in from an entirely external source that I do not control (but another department in my company does, so it''s not like a giant security hole). I was hoping to just have them POST their data to me, and then I''d read the raw stream and parse it. I''m sure folks know what I ran into -- Invalid
