= MigrationTestHelper | ||
|
||
MigrationTestHelper provides methods which let you assert the current state of the schema and run your migrations against the _test_ database. | ||
|
||
== Install | ||
|
||
./script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/migrationtest/tags/migration_test_helper | ||
|
||
OR | ||
|
||
gem install migration_test_helper | ||
|
||
|
||
If you're using it outside of a Rails environment (for whatever reason) include the MigrationTestHelper module in your tests: | ||
|
||
require 'test/unit' | ||
require 'migration_test_helper' | ||
|
||
class MyTest < Test::Unit::TestCase | ||
include MigrationTestHelper | ||
|
||
def test_something | ||
... | ||
end | ||
end | ||
|
||
== Use | ||
|
||
*assert_schema*: verifies the schema of the database exactly matches the one specified. | ||
|
||
def test_the_schema | ||
assert_schema do |s| | ||
s.table :books do |t| | ||
t.column :id, :integer | ||
t.column :title, :string, :limit => 5 | ||
t.column :author, :string | ||
end | ||
|
||
s.table :reviews do |t| | ||
t.column :id, :integer | ||
t.column :book_id, :integer | ||
t.column :body, :text | ||
t.column :rating, :integer, :default => 0 | ||
t.index :book_id, :name => 'index_book_id_on_reviews' | ||
end | ||
end | ||
end | ||
|
||
This would verify there are only two tables defined in the test database: _books_ and _reviews_ (schema_info is ignored). It will also verify that the _book_ table has the three columns, _id_, _title_ and _author_, each with their respective types. Indexes are verified too. | ||
|
||
|
||
*assert_table*: verify a table is found exactly as specified: | ||
|
||
assert_table :books do |t| | ||
t.column :id, :integer | ||
t.column :title, :string, :limit => 5 | ||
t.column :author, :string | ||
t.index :author, :name => 'index_author_on_books' | ||
end | ||
|
||
|
||
*drop_all_tables*: does just what it says to your _test_ database. | ||
|
||
|
||
*migrate*: executes the migrations against the test database using the same mechanism as rake db:migrate. | ||
|
||
def test_the_migrations | ||
migrate | ||
migrate :version => 0 | ||
migrate :version => 10 | ||
migrate | ||
end | ||
|
||
|
||
This would do the same thing as running the following rake commands, but within a test case: | ||
|
||
rake db:migrate | ||
rake db:migrate VERSION=0 | ||
rake db:migrate VERSION=10 | ||
rake db:migrate | ||
|
||
|
||
By combining the two helpers you can write a test that shows you can run all your migrations and get the final schema: | ||
|
||
def test_should_be_able_to_migrate_from_an_empty_schema | ||
drop_all_tables | ||
|
||
# we shouldn't have any tables | ||
assert_schema do |s| | ||
end | ||
|
||
migrate | ||
|
||
assert_schema do |s| | ||
s.table :books do |t| | ||
t.column :id, :integer | ||
t.column :title, :string | ||
t.column :author, :string | ||
end | ||
|
||
s.table :reviews do |t| | ||
t.column :id, :integer | ||
t.column :book_id, :integer | ||
t.column :body, :text | ||
t.column :rating, :integer | ||
t.index :book_id, :name => 'index_book_id_on_reviews' | ||
end | ||
end | ||
end | ||
|
||
|
||
The *migrate* helper can also be useful for testing data tranformation migrations: | ||
|
||
def test_should_get_rid_of_bad_data | ||
drop_all_tables | ||
migrate :version => 7 | ||
Book.reset_column_information | ||
book = Book.create! :title => "bad title\nwith\todd spacing" | ||
migrate :version => 8 # should cleanse spacing in book titles | ||
book.reload | ||
assert_equal "bad title with odd spacing", book.title | ||
end |
