db connection and fixtures

[Josh Kamau]

Hi. 

I am really enjoying working with javalite stack.  

I have 2 questions: 

1.  Which is the best place to put code to load fixtures 

2.  I have the database.properties file. How do i use it in dbConfig#init method? 

Thanks

I figured how  issue number (2),  Now all i need to do is find out how to load (or where  to put the code) for loading fixtures.

Josh, JavaLite does not really have fixtures implemented as they exist in Ruby on Rails. This is one feature we thought unnecessary. 

Usually we write tests like this:

123456789101112131415

@Test public void shouldFindPerson(){ //create data in DB Person.createId("first_name", "John", "last_name", "Doe"); Person.createId("first_name", "Jane", "last_name", "Doe");   //perform tests that need data:   List<Person> people = Person.where("first_name = ?", "John"); the(people.size()).shouldBe(1); a(people.get(0).get("last_name")).shouldBe("Doe"); }

As you can see, on lines 6 and 7 I create data. I personally like to view data creation in the sane file. Sometimes you would use JUnit @Before to run this before any test. 

Also, keep in mind that ActiveWeb automatically runs every test in a transaction that rolls back after each test. This leaves all tables in a test database clean at all times. 

I hope this helps!

That helps. I am studying the code and looking forward to contributing some day.  Great work.

Thanks.
