Felix Fixture JR

---

Generating Rails fixtures can be a real pain for developers, especially in legacy projects. What if you could just create everything you needed in a local environment, and then generate all the fixtures you need with a simple command. Instead of just treating your fixtures as a group of files, you treat them as a type of active record model. So your fixtures have access to all of your active record relationships and query capabilities.

Installation

You can run:

gem install "felix_fixture_jr"

or add this to your Gemfile

group :test, :development do
  gem "felix_fixture_jr"
end

Usage

---

You define what your fixtures should behave like, just like you would an active record model. There are a number of different options that will change your behavior to help you define your fixtures behavior. The most basic setup looks like so.

class UserFixture < User
  include FelixFixtureJr::Definition
end

This will create fixtures with the following format.

user_1:
  first_name: Steve
  last_name: Scuba

Testing

Felix Fixture Jr uses RSpec for its shared contexts. We use the appraisal gem to test against different rails versions. To run the specs with a specific rails version use the appriasal command.

# for Rails 4.2
bundle exec appraisal rails-4-2 rspec

# for Rails 5.0
bundle exec appraisal rails-5-0 rspec

# for Rails 5.1
bundle exec appraisal rails-5-1 rspec

# for Rails 5.2
bundle exec appraisal rails-5-2 rspec

# for Rails 6.0
bundle exec appraisal rails-6-0 rspec
