Fixtures subdirectories

Hi,

[This is a repost, I canÂ?t find where went my previous post,Â?]

I wanted to create subdirectories in the fixtures directory in order to
be
able to manage many different initial states for my system (or to sort
fixtures / corresponding model subpackages).

I came up with the idea of writing:

Test::Unit::TestCase.fixture_path = RAILS_ROOT +
“/test/fixtures/selling”

fixtures :customers, :partners

Test::Unit::TestCase.fixture_path = RAILS_ROOT +
“/test/fixtures/catalog”

fixtures :products, :parts

However, it looks like the test_help.rb file (in /lib) which is
written as:

Test::Unit::TestCase.fixture_path = RAILS_ROOT + "/test/fixtures/ "

def create_fixtures(*table_names)

Fixtures.create_fixtures(RAILS_ROOT + “/test/fixtures”, table_names)

end

could be rewritten as :

Test::Unit::TestCase.fixture_path = RAILS_ROOT + "/test/fixtures/ "

def create_fixtures(*table_names)

Fixtures.create_fixtures(Test::Unit::TestCase.fixture_path,
table_names)

end

in order to do the trick (and to respect the DRY principle,Â?).

What do you think?
