Hi! I’m building a Fixture module for testing in a Phoenix 1.3 app with contexts.
How do you generally handle fixture insertion in this case? :
- Through contexts functions as much as possible, as they’re probably already there (Accounts.create_user, Accounts.create_team, etc)?
- Directly with schemas changesets and bang Repo functions (Repo.insert!, etc)?
- Without changesets / pure SQL?
I like having fixture insertion to raise if something goes wrong (with Repo.insert! with the bang).
If you prefer inserting fixture through context functions, do you duplicate Accounts.create_team and create a bang version Accounts.create_team!?
There could be a lot of duplicated code just to have the bang version.
Small example:
defmodule MyApp.Accounts do
def create_organization(attrs \\ %{}) do
%Organization{}
|> Organization.changeset(attrs)
|> Repo.insert()
end
# Bang version, duplicated code
def create_organization!(attrs \\ %{}) do
%Organization{}
|> Organization.changeset(attrs)
|> Repo.insert!()
end
end
defmodule MyApp.Fixture do
@organization %{
name: "Pied Piper"
}
def insert_organization(attrs \\ %{}) do
Map.merge(@organization, attrs)
|> MyApp.Accounts.create_organization!() # bang version used here
end
end

Context functions usually contain business logic, so I don’t use them for text fixtures.
There’s a simple fixture pattern described in chapter 7 of whats new in Ecto 2

@mbuhot I missed that chapter. It’s clean and simple. Thanks a lot!

Plataformatec’s website is down these days. Fortunately, I found a version of “What’s new in Ecto 2.1” as PDF uploaded somewhere.

Most of the contents have been rolled up into the guides of the ecto documentation on hexdocs afaik.

Right! Found the section on factories: Test factories — Ecto v3.14.0
