Question

Is there a scaffold or other command that will generate from scratch the test/fixtures and test/unit files based upon the current schema?

A rails 3.0.3 app has no unit tests or fixtures yet, but has been through several migrations for several tables and have quite a few fields. So the default files in test/fixtures and test/unit that were created some time ago are very much out of date. Rather than re-created them manually based on the schema, can I re-run some scaffold command?

(I found rails generate integration_test but didn’t see anything to re-create the test/unit and test/fixtures.)

Answer 1

By looking at the current code on Rails, no.

Edit: This is similar to this question.

I also recommend something like FactoryGirl instead of fixtures.
