According to Agile Web Development with Rails (pg 148), a fixture like
version_control_book:
id: 1
title: Pragmatic Version Control
...
loaded as "fixtures: products"
can be accessed as @products["version_control_book"] or
@version_control_book within a unit test (TestCase).
My (very simple) tests are working otherwise, but the equivalents of
@products and @version_control_book are nil. Why?
patients.yml is:
···
-------------------------
newborn:
id: 1
hosp_ident: 120001010
last_name: Musa
other_names: BabyA
sex: F
.... etc.
-----------------------
patients_test.rb is
-----------------------------
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../test_helper'
class PatientTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
fixtures :patients
def setup
@patient = Patient.find(1)
end
def test_truth
puts "@patients = #{@patients.inspect}"
puts "@newborn = #{@newborn}"
assert_kind_of Patient, @patient
assert_equal 1, @patient.id
assert_equal 'F', @patient.sex
assert_equal '-', @patient.rv
... etc
end
end
------------------------------------
and the output is:
