What's this?

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

Shortcut for ActionController::TestUploadedFile.new(Test::Unit::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)

ATM does not work in Rails 2.3 Edge

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
