Fixtures

Fixtures are a way of organizing data that you want to test against., _(*3)

They are stored in YAML files, one file per model, which are placed in the directory you want. The fixture file ends with the .yml file extension (Rails example: /test/fixtures/web_sites.yml). The format of a fixture file looks like this:, _(*4)

eric:
  name: Eric Roston
  email: eric@example.com

jane:
  name: Jane Hunter
  email: jane@example.com

This fixture file includes two fixtures. Each YAML fixture (ie. record) is given a name and is followed by an indented list of key/value pairs in the "key: value" format. Records are separated by a blank line for your viewing pleasure. Note that fixtures are unordered., _(*5)
