fixture_file_upload

v2.0.3 - Show latest stable - Class: ActionController::TestProcess

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

public

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

  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 473
    def fixture_file_upload(path, mime_type = nil, binary = false)
      ActionController::TestUploadedFile.new(
        Test::Unit::TestCase.respond_to?(:fixture_path) ? Test::Unit::TestCase.fixture_path + path : path, 
        mime_type,
        binary
      )
    end

Moved in Rails 3

insane-dreamer · Jul 23, 20103 thanks

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
