How can I test seed data in a Rails application?

You can test seed data in a Rails application by using RSpec or Minitest to create tests that check the validity of your seed data.

What should I include in my seed data tests?

Include tests for data integrity, uniqueness, and any associations that your models have. This ensures your seeds are valid.

Can you show me an example of a seed data test?

Sure! Here's a simple example using RSpec:

RSpec.describe 'Seed Data' do
  it 'creates valid users' do
    expect(User.count).to eq(5) # Assuming you have 5 users in your seeds
    expect(User.first.name).to eq('John Doe') # Check the first user's name
  end
end

How do I run these tests?

You can run your RSpec tests by executing rspec in your terminal. Make sure your test database is set up!
