SmartFixtures

You can define a Test Dataset in a free-form. The data set is useable at any time in your unit test files.

Currently, This tool only supports RSpec.

What's this?

$ vim spec/smart_fixtures/product_master.rb

# in spec/smart_fixtures/product_master.rb
# defining dataset using FactoryGirl

SmartFixtures.define_dataset :product_master do
  100.times do |i|
    FactoryGirl.create(:product, name: "DummyProduct#{i}", availability: false)
  end

  let(:available_product) do
    FactoryGirl.create(:product, name: 'ValidProduct', availability: true)
  end
end

$ vim spec/model/product.rb

# in spec/model/product.rb

describe Product do
  # load product_master dataset
  smart_fixtures :product_master

  # loadable multiple fixtures like ...
  # smart_fixtures :product_master, :other_dataset1, :other_dataset2 ...

  describe 'Your test case' do
    it do
      expect(Product.count).to be > 100

      # fetch available_product variable in product_master dataset
      product = SmartFixtures.data(:product_master, :available_product)
      expect(product.name).to eq("ValidProduct")
    end
  end
end

You can use fixtures variable as a local variables like this.

$ vim spec/models/product.rb

SmartFixtures.define_dataset :another_example_dataset do
  let(:spec_product) { FactoryGirl.create(:product, name: 'HelloTestData') }
end

describe Product do
  smart_fixtures :another_example_dataset, use_fixture_variables: true

  describe 'Your test case...' do
    it do
      product_name = spec_product.name
      expect(product_name).to eq('HelloTestData')
    end
  end
end
