Running Ruby Unit Tests

Use the Ruby Unit::Test framework to write and run unit tests on Ruby files in 3rdRail.

Ruby Unit Testing in Rails

Rails creates a default unit test for each model created. Find template Unit test files in the Rails Explorer: Project Folder| Tests| Unit Tests.

Open a unit test in the Ruby Editor and replace template data with test data.

The Fixtures file holds the fixtures template for the associated test: Project Folder| Tests| Fixtures.
