The Shoulda test suite (in particular - the tests that test shoulda)
|
|
|
|
Quick overview:
|
|
|
|
The test directory contains the following files and subdirectories:
|
|
|
|
* rails_root - contains the stripped down rails application that the tests run against. The rails root contains:
|
|
** the models, controllers, and views defined under app/
|
|
** the sqlite3.rb environment file
|
|
** a migration file for each model
|
|
** a shoulda initializer that simulates loading the plugin but without relying on vendor/plugins
|
|
* fixtures - contain the sample DB data for each model
|
|
* functional - controller tests for each of the controllers under rails_root/app
|
|
* unit - model tests for each of the models under rails_root/app
|
|
* other - tests for the shoulda contexts, should statements, and assertions
|
|
* test_helper.rb - responsible for initializing the test environment
|
|
** sets the rails_env to sqlite3
|
|
** sets the rails_root
|
|
** runs all the migrations against the in-memory sqlite3 db
|
|
** adds some magic to load the right fixture files
|
|
|
|
In order to add a new model (or controller) to the test suite:
|
|
|
|
* add that model to rails_root/app/models
|
|
* add a migration for that model
|
|
* add a fixture file
|
|
* add a test for that file under test/units
|
|
|
|
Dependencies:
|
|
|
|
* Rails gem installed in the host system
|
|
* A working sqlite3 installation.
