NAME

Test::Conch::Fixtures

DESCRIPTION

Provides database fixtures for testing.

USAGE

my $fixtures = Test::Conch::Fixtures->new(
    definitions => {
        fixture_1 => { ... },
        fixture_2 => { ... },
    },
);

See “fixtures” in Test::Conch for main usage.

METHODS

generate_set

Generates new fixture definition(s). Adds them to the internal definition list, but does not load them to the database.

Available sets:

* workspace_room_rack_layout - a new workspace under GLOBAL, with a datacenter_room, rack, and a layout suitable for various hardware. Takes a single integer for uniqueness.

generate_definitions

Generates fixture definition(s) using generic data, and any necessary dependencies. Uses a unique number to generate unique fixture names. Not-nullable fields are filled in with sensible defaults, but all may be overridden.

Requires data format:

fixture_type => { field data.. },
...,

fixture_type is usually a table name, but might be pluralized or be something special. See “_generate_definition”.

_generate_definition

Data used in “generate_definitions”. Returns a fixture definition as well as a list of other recognized fixture types that must also be turned into fixtures to satisfy dependencies.

num must be a value that is unique to the set of fixtures being generated; many fixtures will refer to each other using this number as part of their name.

specification is usually a hashref but might be a listref depending on the fixture type.

add_definition

Add a new fixture definition.

get_definition

Used by DBIx::Class::Fixtures.

all_fixture_names

Used by DBIx::Class::Fixtures.
