Slowly digging to the bottom of this one.
If I add
Test::Unit::TestCase.fixture_path = RAILS_ROOT + '/spec/fixtures/'
to my spec_helper.rb, then everything runs fine. So presumably there
is somewhere that config.fixture_path from the Spec::Runner.configure
block is supposed to get put into Test::Unit::TestCase.fixture_path,
and for some reason that is no longer happening. I will continue to
dig into this problem, but if anyone is familiar with this part of
the rspec system and can help me get to the right place faster, I'd
sure appreciate it.
