• A case of the fixtures for the mongoid

• Fixtures can be kinda nice for classic rails workflow

• Some of us don’t like factories

• Make real db calls

• rails >= 3.0.0.rc

• mongoid >= 2.0.0.beta.7

• gem install mongoid_rails_fixtures

• In your Gemfile, include: gem “mongoid_rails_fixtures”, “>=0.0.1” # or current version

to use, set these attributes after the Bunlder.require in your application.rb

• to migrate before test runs, optionally include +typewriter+Mongoid.configure.migrate_before_tests = true+typewriter+

• to stop the deletion of existing fixtures before create (a rails default), set +typewriter+Mongoid.configure.delete_existing_fixtures_before_create = false+typewriter+

• you can simply create your own fixture files

• I’ve been thinking about creating a generator but it seems to be overkill to automate the process

• place your fixtures as pluralized models either in .yml or .csv (e.g. users.yml) in your rails/test/fixtures directory

• execute with a standard call to +typewriter+rake test:units+typewriter+

• Original active_record/fixtures.rb is unchanged for association detection (so that likely doesn’t work)

• Only tested with ruby 1.9.1

• make association detection functional in fixtures.rb

* rails
* mongoid

Much of this gem simply modifies existing code from both projects. With that out of the way, on to the license.
