Method: Test::Unit::TestCase#setup_fixture_files

Defined in:

lib/test_case.rb

#setup_fixture_files ⇒ Object

Copies the fixture files from “RAILS_ROOT/test/fixtures/file_column” into the temporary storage directory used for testing (“RAILS_ROOT/test/tmp/file_column”). Call this method in your setup methods to get the file fixtures (images, for example) into the directory used by file_column in testing.

Note that the files and directories in the “fixtures/file_column” directory must have the same structure as you would expect in your “/public” directory after uploading with FileColumn.

For example, the directory structure could look like this:

test/fixtures/file_column/
`-- container
    |-- first_image
    |   |-- 1
    |   |   `-- image1.jpg
    |   `-- tmp
    `-- second_image
        |-- 1
        |   `-- image2.jpg
        `-- tmp

Your fixture file for this one “container” class fixture could look like this:

first:
  id:           1
  first_image:  image1.jpg
  second_image: image1.jpg

A usage example:

def setup
  setup_fixture_files

  # ...
end

# File 'lib/test_case.rb', line 72

def setup_fixture_files
  tmp_path = File.join(RAILS_ROOT, "test", "tmp", "file_column")
  file_fixtures = Dir.glob File.join(RAILS_ROOT, "test", "fixtures", "file_column", "*")
  
  FileUtils.mkdir_p tmp_path unless File.exists?(tmp_path)
  FileUtils.cp_r file_fixtures, tmp_path
end
