method

fixture_file_upload

rails latest stable - Class: ActionController::TestProcess

fixture_file_upload(path, mime_type = nil, binary = false)

public

Shortcut for ActionController::TestUploadedFile.new(ActionController::TestCase.fixture_path + path, type):

  post :change_avatar, :avatar => fixture_file_upload('/files/spongebob.png', 'image/png')

To upload binary files on Windows, pass :binary as the last parameter. This will not affect other platforms:

  post :change_avatar, :avatar => fixture_file_upload('/files/spongebob.png', 'image/png', :binary)

# File actionpack/lib/action_controller/test_process.rb, line 523
    def fixture_file_upload(path, mime_type = nil, binary = false)
      fixture_path = ActionController::TestCase.send(:fixture_path) if ActionController::TestCase.respond_to?(:fixture_path)
      ActionController::TestUploadedFile.new("#{fixture_path}#{path}", mime_type, binary)
    end

ATM does not work in Rails 2.3 Edge

grosser · Feb 24, 20095 thanks

add to test/spec_helper to make it work again... #spec_helper / test_helper include ActionController::TestProcess

Moved in Rails 3

In Rails 3, this has moved to ActionDispatch::TestProcess

(Which means, if you want to use it in a test, you need to add the following to test_helper.rb:)

include ActionDispatch::TestProcess

fixture_file_upload

Method deprecated or moved
