Railsters: Those of you who dig ActiveRecord need this:
http://www.oreillynet.com/ruby/blog/2008/09/polygamous_assert_latest.html It shows how to write tests like this: t, fz = assert_latest T2, Foo do T2.create 2.times{ Foo.create } end assert do t.id > 0 and fz[0].id > 0 and fz[1].id > fz[0].id end The inner lines - T2.create etc. - represent your production code in action. You put the assert_latest around that code, and it will detect any new records of the given type. You can then assert the records have the fields you expect. The assertion is "polygamous" because you can pass any list of types in. The original version only took one type. This is useful for any kind of testing, but super-useful for integration tests, to detect large batches of new records. Get assert_latest with the assert_efficient_sql gem. -- Phlip --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
