Simple validation testing. assert_invalid_attributes(User, :email => [nil, 's', '@', 'asd@sdf'], :name => [nil, 'x', 'admin']) User.email expected to be invalid when set to asd@sdf`

Additionally: (Factory Girl can do some of these things better...):

• guard non-model tests from validation changes
• valid attributes to test a controller :post or fill a form (integration tests / cucumber)
• create a valid record
• create edge-case records
• fixture replacement

INSTALL

script/plugin install git://github.com/grosser/valid_attributes.git

Fill test/valid_attributes.yml or spec/valid_attributes.yml with 1 valid set of attributes per model

user:
  name: Hans
  login: hand
  address_id: 1

Test::Unit

# test/test_helper.rb
include ValidAttributes

RSpec

# spec/spec_helper.rb
Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
  ...
  config.include(ValidAttributes)
  ...
end

USAGE

def test_validations
  assert true, valid(User).valid?
  assert_invalid_attributes(User, :email => [nil, 's', '@', 'asd@sdf'], :name => [nil, 'x', 'admin'])`
end

• set of valid attributes: valid_attributes User
• a valid Record(new): valid User
• a valid Record(saved): create_valid User
• custom attributes: valid User, :name=>'oh noo it is too long'
