test_dummy

Test Dummy is an easy fake data generator library with the ability to create fake models or entirely faked data structures on-demand.

After installing the gem, methods to declare how to fake data are made available within ActiveRecord-derived models. There are several ways to declare how to dummy something:

class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base
  # Pass a block that defines how to dummy this attribute
  dummy :name do
    "user%d" % rand(10e6)
  end

  # Pass a block that defines how to dummy several attributes
  dummy :password, :password_confirmation do
    'tester'
  end

  # Use one of the pre-defined helper methods to dummy this attribute
  dummy :nickname, :use => :random_phonetic_string
end
