Hello, I have a model called Contents, and every content belongs to a Role. The Roles are suposed to be constants (they are always the same and don't change), so I decided to create a migrate to insert the data in the db. The point was that every role has more properties, like priority, and I found it was not a good idea to create a simple class with normal constants. Furthermore, I added a method (const_missing) in the model Role so when I search a constant it checks the db table and creates it dinamically.
My problem appeared when I was writing the tests because the migrates don't get executed, and so I don't have any role in my test db. And they are suposed to be constants and be always there. In another project we used fixtures to fix this problem but I don't think that it's the best way because you must keep synch the db and the fixtures. Quite ugly. Thanks in advance for your answers. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
