Summoner

Summoner is a really simple fixture replacemoent for Ruby.

How to install

gem install summoner

You can prepare your monsters like:

Summoner.prepare :monster do |c| c.type "Esper" end

Then, you can summon your monsters like:

Summoner.summon :monster

Or, if you need to override default values:

Summoner.summon :monster do |c| c.type "Guardian" end

Also, you can override options with a hash:

Summoner.summon(:monster, :type => "Avatar")

v0.1.2

From v0.1.2 on, you can also summon ActiveRecord instances directly from their classes without prepare them before, for example:

Monster.summon do |m| m.type = "Esper" end

Note the difference between with the prepare method, here you should use the = sign to assign values.

Rails

1. Add config.gem "summoner" to the config/environments/test.rb or gem "summoner" to your Gemfile if you're using bundler
2. Define your monsters on a file, e.g: spec/monsters.rb (you can call it as you please)
3. Require that file on your (test|spec)_helper.rb
4. Summon your monsters on your tests/specs
