Overriding setup in Rail’s test_helper - impossible?
Is there a way that will just work for adding common setup code to test_helper? None of the below work:
# this breaks fixtures in the acts_as_authenticated account_controller_test (but nowhere else, for some reason)...
def setup
end
def setup
end
# this breaks things all over the place
def setup
super
end
def setup
super
end
# this is the way I think it _should_ work, but it breaks down in functional tests
def setup_with_logging
setup_without_logging
end
alias_method_chain :setup, :logging
def setup_with_logging
setup_without_logging
end
alias_method_chain :setup, :logging
There is way too much magic happening in the rails test setup, particularly in fixtures.rb. This should not be that difficult.
