Using Fixtures docs in API RDoc needs work
Reported by smerp | January 30th, 2009 @ 04:13 AM | in 2.x
The current "Using Fixtures" documentation notes three methods of accessing fixture data from within Rails tests:
- By using a hash stored in an instance variable named after the
fixture e.g.
@blobs['foo']['name'] - By using an instance variable named after the record name, e.g.
@foo.name - By using a dynamically-created object, e.g.
blobs(:foo).name
However, the default has been to not instantiate instance
variables, which means only method #3 will work.
Furthermore, all examples don't use the test method
for each test case.
Recommend moving method #3 to be the primary method, and note how to
enable methods #1 and #2. Update examples to show this, using the new
test methods.
