I'm using Rspec and FactoryGirl to create specs for multimodel paperclip attachments. From searching other questions, it seems like a single image attachment is more common.
Car.rb class Car < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :uploads, dependent: :destroy validates :uploads, presence: { message: 'You must upload at least one image' } accepts_nested_attributes_for :uploads, allow_destroy: true end Upload.rb class Upload < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :car has_attached_file :upload, styles: { medium: '300x300>', thumb: '100x100>' } validates_attachment_content_type :upload, content_type: /\Aimage\/.*\Z/ validates_attachment_presence :upload end As you can see there is a has_many and belongs_to relationship between the two. car_spec.rb require 'spec_helper' describe Car do before do @car = Car.new(FactoryGirl.attributes_for(:car)) end subject { @car } it { should respond_to(:uploads) } it { should be_valid } end cars.rb factory FactoryGirl.define do factory :car do # Something uploads end end I have tried `uploads { FactoryGirl.create!(:upload) }` as well as using the `fixture_file_upload` directly on the Car's uploads attribute. Also I read about Associations,but I wasn't sure how that work. For the upload factory I've done how you would test an individual attachment Uploads.rb include ActionDispatch::TestProcess FactoryGirl.define do factory :upload do upload { fixture_file_upload(Rails.root.join('spec', 'fixtures', 'support', 'test.jpg'), 'image/jpeg') } end end -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
