Like Im Five help you to create a complex testing context in a few seconds.

like_im_five

Have you ever wasted time to setting up testing context rather than focusing on the code? Have you ever had pain to reproduce a production bug in your test?

Like Im Five generate a file with factories you need to test a specific object. It use you DB development to retrieve the object you want and all associations you will have need to setup the test.

Create a complex testing context in a few seconds.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'like_im_five'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install like_im_five

Usage

Just open you terminal, go in your project and type:

like_im_five id_of_object table_of_object

(if you are facing somme issue try to prepend bundle exec before the commands above)

It takes two parameters.

id_of_object
The gem use your development database so you have to indicate of which one object you would like create context.

table_of_object
Then you have to specify what is the table of the id you just typed above.

Example:

In your DB development you have these objects:

=> #<DummyApp::User id: 12 name: "Jean", city: "London", age: 20, created_at: "2019-12-30 22:45:33", updated_at: "2019-12-30 22:45:33">

=> #<DummyApp::Article id: 1, dummy_app_user_id: 12, dummy_app_category_id: 1, title: "Subway Art 25th", body: "Anniversary Edition", created_at: "2019-12-30 22:45:33", updated_at: "2019-12-30 22:45:33">

=> #<DummyApp::Category id: 1, dummy_app_topic_id: 3, label: "Graffiti", created_at: "2019-12-30 22:45:33", updated_at: "2019-12-30 22:45:33">

=> #<DummyApp::Topic id: 3, title: "Culture", description: "Culture is beautiful", created_at: "2019-12-30 22:45:33", updated_at: "2019-12-30 22:45:33">

You want to test your article, in your terminal you have to type the following command:

like_im_five 1 "dummy_app_articles"

and it will generate a new file in your /spec folder named: name_of_your_table.txt, so in our case name_of_your_table.txt containing factories:

let(:dummy_app_article) { create :dummy_app_article, id: 1, dummy_app_user_id: 12, dummy_app_category_id: 1, title: "Subway Art 25th", body: "Anniversary Edition" }
let(:dummy_app_user) { create :dummy_app_user, id: 12, name: "Jean", city: "London", age: 20 }
let(:dummy_app_category) { create :dummy_app_category, id: 1, label: "Graffiti", dummy_app_topic_id: 3 }
let(:dummy_app_topic) { create :dummy_app_topic, id: 3, title: "Culture", description: "Culture is beautiful" }

That's it, just copy/paste it in your concerned spec.

Corner cases

• UID
  I you are using UID rather than traditional ID no worries, we handle it for you. Just type commande below:

like_im_five "ffe-230-opoifhhfru-333" "dummy_app_articles"

• Similarity detection to match table name with model
  Sometimes you have to use Inflection, especially if you are not coding in english.

If you named a table vitraux and your model vitrail we will match both to build your factory.

nb: if your model name is really to different than your table name it can fails to match.

• Namespaced table name
  If you have namespaced table name but using model name as foreign_key in association we will handle it for you.

e.g:

You have the following table with the foreign_key website_id

create_table "dummy_app_articles", force: :cascade do |t|
    t.string "title"
   ...
    t.bigint "website_id"
    t.index ["website_id"], name: "index_dummy_app_articles_on_website_id"
  end

but your website table looks like

  create_table "dummy_app_websites", force: :cascade do |t|
    t.string "url"
    t.datetime "created_at", null: false
    t.datetime "updated_at", null: false
  end

Connect website_id with dummy_app_websites can be messy but that's fine.

Testing

To run the test suite please type in your cli:

bundle exec rspec dummy_app/spec/dummy/spec
