Rails - how to grab instrument data from tests
I looked at rails for testing , but I can get hardware data from my test. I have a fixture:
one:
pay_period: one
employee: kent
cpp: 50
ei: 40
tax: 100
vacation_pay: 30
Then I have a test like below (where EmployeePayPeriod is the model)
require 'test_helper'
class EmployeePayPeriodTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase
# Replace this with your real tests.
test "Calculate wages under 80 hours correctly" do
p = EmployeePayPeriod(:one)
assert true
end
end
Obviously this doesn't work. I looked at the guide. In the tutorial, he uses a code snippet to illustrate how you get hardware data:
@user = users(:david).
It looks like "users" are not a model (because the usual convention is that it would be singular and capitalized. So where did the "users" come from? If its autogeneration should have a comparable employee_pay_periods object available for (I tried, but doesn't seem to work).

I believe users are a convention based on the yml file name. In this example, they matter users.yml
. Therefore, to more accurately answer your question, try specifying the name of your .yml fixture file.
Something that might be easier in the long run is like FactoryGirl , Machinist or fixjour

The instrument must be in a .yml file whose name matches the table name (not the model name).
Assuming the table name for EmployeePayPeriod
is employee_pay_periods
, then your device should be in test/fixtures/employee_pay_periods.yml
, and you should have a method employee_pay_periods()
autogenerated to access the devices.
Make sure your fixtures are loaded. Latest Rails will add the following line for test / test_helper.rb:
fixtures :all
This loads all fixtures before each test case. Make sure this line is present and uncommented.
