Overview

Goldberg’s TestHelper module loads Goldberg’s bootstrap environment for use in functional and integration testing. It also provides some methods for logging a user in and out.

The fixtures are loaded from RAILS_ROOT/vendor/plugins/goldberg/db. By default this contains the bootstrap that came with Goldberg. However you can configure your system (create roles, permissions, users, controllers/actions and a menu) then dump a bootstrap that represents your configuration using the Rake task:

rake goldberg:dump_bootstrap

This offers an arguably more realistic approach than conventional fixtures: tests are performed using a real Goldberg setup. Furthermore dumping a bootstrap from your configured site allows you to test your security in functional and integration tests: you can log in and perform actions in your tests, and ensure that actions and/or pages are appropriately allowed or forbidden based on the security you have defined.
