Hi, In cases where I have model methods that are generating data based on non-trivial SQL queries to a database (e.g. to pull together data required to plot an appropriate graph), does this really require a traditional fixture (i.e. pre-canned test data) as opposed to use of mocks?
That is, the bulk of the method is really the SQL that is pull back (with multiple joins / selects etc) the data required. Testing to some extent should be focused around testing the SQL is producing what it should. How would one use rspec / mocha to solve this? i.e. in a normal testing sense you may need 5 to 10 rows before you can feel comfortable the SQL code is doing what it should..
