Where should I put seed data for RSpec tests?

Where should I put test data that is for RSpec testing purposes only?

Like many things in life, it depends.

  1. If you're using fixtures, they live in test/fixtures.
  2. If you're using factory_girl with RSpec, it can read from a number of places but spec/factories/*.rb seems the most sensible place to put them.
  3. If you're using something else, check the documentation for your other fixture or factory gem.

You can use fixtures (1) if the data is simple or go to factory_girl_rails gem (2) if you need something more sophisticated.

Also you can create a rake task for populating your database.
