Action Text FixtureSet
Fixtures are a way of organizing data that you want to test against; in short, sample data.
To learn more about fixtures, read the ActiveRecord::FixtureSet documentation.
YAML
Like other Active Record-backed models, ActionText::RichText records inherit from ActiveRecord::Base instances and can therefore be populated by fixtures.
Consider an Article class:
class Article < ApplicationRecord
has_rich_text :content
end
To declare fixture data for the related content, first declare fixture data for Article instances in test/fixtures/articles.yml:
first:
title: An Article
Then declare the ActionText::RichText fixture data in test/fixtures/action_text/rich_texts.yml, making sure to declare each entry’s record: key as a polymorphic relationship:
first:
record: first (Article)
name: content
body: <div>Hello, world.</div>
When processed, Active Record will insert database records for each fixture entry and will ensure the Action Text relationship is intact.
Methods
Class Public methods
attachment(fixture_set_name, label, column_type: :integer)
Fixtures support Action Text attachments as part of their body HTML.
Examples
For example, consider a second Article fixture declared in test/fixtures/articles.yml:
second:
title: Another Article
You can attach a mention of articles(:first) to second‘s content by embedding a call to ActionText::FixtureSet.attachment in the body: value in test/fixtures/action_text/rich_texts.yml:
second:
record: second (Article)
name: content
body: <div>Hello, <%= ActionText::FixtureSet.attachment("articles", :first) %></div>
