Don use fixtures, not even when just starting out. Instead choose one of the excellent test data factory gems to generate test data. And, only generate test data specifically for the tests you write. You're not going to write 2700000 test on city data. Just a few examples are all you'll need for your test suite. Generate those as you need them with your factory. https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl https://github.com/notahat/machinist -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
