This component is a test fixture for OutSystems. It makes it easy to create a tenant for testing and register/discard test data.
Fixture will automatically create a tenant for testing. Test tenants are created using the platform's multi-tenant mechanism. Data for tenants for testing and other tenants are separated by the platform, so you can safely test without affecting or affecting other tenants. This also allows you to test in your development environment without having to deploy your application to a test environment.
Fixture also imports test data to the test tenant. Input the YAML test data into the Fixture_Setup action. Please refer to the following usage sample and execution result.
Usage sample
Execution result
Because YAML is just text, you have the flexibility to create test data as follows:
- Use a function like
CurrDateTime() - Create dynamically by looping
- Use foreign key values with YAML anchors and aliases
Anchor and alias usage sample
Specify a value for User_Role.User_Id by using an alias to User.Id.
