PG Fixtures is loosely based on Fixpoints in that it saves a copy of your databases to files and reloads your databases later saving precious time if you have test that require lots of setup. PG Fixtures is different because it is Postgres specific, and uses db_dump and psql to decrease the memory requirements of saving and loading data.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'pg_fixtures'And then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install pg_fixtures
PG Fixtures will speed up subsequent test runs by storing the DB state after complex and lengthy processing.For subsequent runs, instead of re-running the setup routine, PG Fixtures simply loads the data from the SQL file.
pg_fixture = PgFixtures.new(
directory: 'spec/pg_fixtures',
excluded_tables: ['versions', 'spatial_ref_sys', 'uploads']
model: ApplicationRecord,
)
if pg_fixture.exists?
pg_fixture.restore
else
# ... do some involved data manipulation that takes significant time
pg_fixture.store
end
