Adds simple access to sample files called file fixtures. File fixtures are normal files stored in ActiveSupport::TestCase.file_fixture_path.
File fixtures are represented as Pathname objects. This makes it easy to extract specific information:
file_fixture("example.txt").read # get the file's content
file_fixture("example.mp3").size # get the file size
Methods
Instance Public methods
file_fixture(fixture_name)
Returns a Pathname to the fixture file named fixture_name.
Raises ArgumentError if fixture_name can’t be found.
