The right way to use #fixture_file_upload in request specs

[belgoros]

I still can't figure out the right way to use fixture_file_upload method in a request spec.

I looked through several issues: 1554 and 1943, but still no success.

I put an image rails.jpeg in spec/fixtures folder.

Here is an example that fails:

describe 'PATCH /shops/:shop_identifer' do
    let(:photo) {fixture_file_upload('files/rails.jpeg') }
    let(:valid_params) do
      ams_json(
        Shop,
        category: shop.category,
        country: shop.country,
        identifier: shop.identifier,
        modified_by: shop.modified_by,
        name: 'new name',
        photo: photo,
        status: shop.status
      )
    end


    before { patch "/shops/#{shop.identifier}", params: valid_params, headers: headers }
...
    it 'creates a blob ' do
      expect(shop.photo.attached?).to be true
    end

It fails with:

RuntimeError:

 files/rails.jpeg file does not exist

What am I missing?

RSpec version: 3.8.1

Rails version: 5.2.0

I found it in RSpec docs.

SO, instead of fixture_file_upload, I had to use file_fixture.

Hope this helps.
You can customize files location.

I believe it depends on your Rails version, as Rails 5 has the file_fixture method.
