rodreegez / images.rb
Created October 20, 2009 11:12
I was having trouble testing images uploads with the Cucumber && Webrat && Selenium setup. This was basically because I was not calling the file path correctly. To prevent this in future, I wrote a helper to extend the Cucumber World object and explicitly
module ImageHelpers
def image_path(size)
case size
when "thumbnail"
File.expand_path(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "..", "support", "fixtures", "adam_mint.jpg"))
# NOTE: I created a sub dir of "support" called "fixtures" in which to place test files.
else
raise "don't know where to find a #{size} image"
end
end
