Introduction
Seed introduces an easy way to instantiate factories created with Factory Girl.
Install
sudo gem install factory_seed
If you want the source go to github.com/fnando/factory_seed
Usage
Take the following factories:
Factory.define(:user) do |f|
f.username { Factory.next(:username) }
f.password "test"
f.password_confirmation "test"
end
Factory.define(:messages) do |f|
f.association :user
f.subject "Some subject"
end
Factory.define(:comments) do |f|
f.association :user
f.comment "Some comment"
end
You need to include the Seed
module where you want to use it.
require "seed"
include Seed
_10_users
_1_user_with_10_comments
If you think that underscores are ugly, you can simply use the seed
method.
seed "10 users"
seed "1 user with 10 comments"
You can set variables by using the records you just created.
@user = _1_user
@user, @comments = _1_user_with_10_comments
@user, @comments, @messages =
You can define the associations by providing a hash.
@user = _1_user
_10_comments(:user => @user)
Using with Test::Unit
Just include the Seed
module.
class SomeTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
include Seed
end
Or if you want to make Seed available to all test cases
class Test::Unit::TestCase
include Seed
end
Using with RSpec
Include the Seed
module by using the configure
method.
Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
config.include(Seed)
end
