Anyone have comments on ticket 3935 (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3935) ? I think it should be in 1.1.
It allows for a set_fixture_class method in unit tests so table accessor methods still work if your model uses a set_table_name call. So for example (and from the unit tests): model: class Joke < ActiveRecord::Base set_table_name 'funny_jokes' end The fixture would be at test/fixtures/funny_jokes.yml In the unit test, you would need to supply: set_fixture_class :funny_jokes => 'Joke' Additionally, I had in mind a later patch which would allow for: fixtures :funny_jokes => 'Joke', :more_things => 'Thing' and would call set_fixture_class and then fixtures if passed a hash instead of of an array. The one thing that may need thought is that in order to make this change, I had to change the prototypes of Fixture#initialize, Fixtures#initialize and Fixtures#create_fixtures, which are not backwards compatable, but the only code in rails which uses these is in the fixtures code and the test code. I think making fixtures work for models with set_table_name is more important.
