Hi,

I'm looking for a better way to test my modules that are using DBIx::Class models by setting up mock data (in large number of tables) and then running test scripts.

So far, I've been using this code (per module):

#! /usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

BEGIN {
  use DBIx::RunSQL;
  
  open(FH,'>','/tmp/create.sql') or die('Could not create a file');
  print FH <<EOX;
CREATE TABLE `module_test_table` (
  `id` int(10) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
  `name` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `description` varchar(255) default NULL,
);

INSERT INTO module_test_table VALUES (1, 'Name1', NULL);
INSERT INTO module_test_table VALUES (2, 'Name2', NULL);
EOX

  close(FH);
  
  my $dbh = DBIx::RunSQL->create(
    dsn     => 'dbi:SQLite:dbname=:memory:',
    sql     => '/tmp/create.sql',
    force   => 1,
    #verbose => 1,
  );
  
  # override the config file where database connection string is
  # located, instead setup database handle
  use Internal::Config;
  $Internal::Config::c->{dbh} = $dbh;
  $Internal::Config::c->{db_dsn} = undef;
  
  $ENV{DBIC_TRACE} = 1;
}

use Test::More 'no_plan';

# module using DBIx::Class model
use ModuleTest;

my $module_test = ModuleTest->new({ id => 1 });
is($t->id, 1, 'Value of id');
is($t->name, 'Name1', 'Value of name');
is($t->description, undef, 'Value of description');

This works fine, but I would like to use the actual DBIx::Class models to create tables and set data, and also to extract the boilerplate code to one file used by test scripts.

Thanks
