How can I add fixtures for testing Strapi project with jest.
and is there a way to add such testing data in Strapi, like fixtures in ruby on rails?
this is an example of rubyOnRail fixtures:
# lo & behold! I am a YAML comment!

strapi-plugin-import-export-content has been updated for Strapi4 but requires some work to inject exported data to its apis (Authentication mainly). Also, single types have no export/import buttons by default so I don't know if the import/export apis work with them.
For now, the easiest workaround I found is to set a dedicated sqlite db for tests with seed data.

Here are some scripts I use to export/import fixtures:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# tests/export_sqlite_fixtures.sh
SCRIPT_DIR=$( cd -- "$( dirname -- "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" &> /dev/null && pwd )
sqlite3 "$SCRIPT_DIR/../.tmp/data.db" ".output $SCRIPT_DIR/fixtures.sql.dump" ".dump"
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# tests/import_sqlite_fixtures.sh
SCRIPT_DIR=$( cd -- "$( dirname -- "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" &> /dev/null && pwd )
sqlite3 "$SCRIPT_DIR/../.tmp/data.db" ".output $SCRIPT_DIR/fixtures.sql.dump" ".dump"
Then in my CI pipe i just add (Github action here):
- name: Populate sqlite db with fixtures
run: ./tests/import_sqlite_fixtures.sh
- name: build Strapi
run: yarn build
...
NB: The extension of the export is .sql.dump to keep the *.sql rule in the .gitignore
