AutoData

Manage test data and environment configuration for automated test projects.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'auto_data'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install auto_data

Usage

YML files are needed to define data.

AUTO_DATA_PATH : Configuration data file path

if you are working with cucumber include the next line to env.rb file

ENV["AUTO_DATA_PATH"] =  File.absolute_path('../..', File.dirname(__FILE__)).to_s

if not use using cucumber, place to the variable the project root path in your ruby class

ENV["AUTO_DATA_PATH"] =  <<YML path files>>

Sample

YML's sample data

Optional YML file structure:

default_key: user_role2 #optional

user_role1:
    userid: userid1
user_role2:
    userid: userid2

Code using custom key and sub-key words

    require 'auto_data'
    #Set configuration file path (Assumming that class is under root folder)

    ENV["AUTO_DATA_PATH"] =  File.dirname(__FILE__)

    #Create AutoData object
    autodata = AutoData::Parse.new

    #Print values  format:objectname.filename('key.subkey')
    #Users file
    puts test.users('mananger.login')        #=> manager_id
    puts test.users('mananger.password')     #=> zaq12wsx
    puts test.users('mananger.username')     #=> Batman

    #Environment file
    puts test.environment('testing.base_url') #=> http://testing.sample.com

Using custom default_key option

    #Create AutoData object
    autodata = AutoData::Parse.new

    #users.yml file must has default_key, i.e. 'default_key: manager'
    puts test.users('login')        #=> manager_id
    puts test.users('password')     #=> zaq12wsx1
    puts test.users('username')     #=> Batman

Changing default_key from code

    test.change_scope('users','customer')

    #print again
    puts test.users('login')        #=> customer_id
    puts test.users('password')     #=> zaq12wsx2
    puts test.users('username')     #=> Robin
