I use seed_fu with cucumber. http://github.com/mbleigh/seed-fu/tree
To load them I use the following my features/steps/env.rb. I reload them for every scenarios: Before do ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(ActiveRecord::Base.configurations['test']) ActiveRecord::Schema.verbose = false load "#{RAILS_ROOT}/db/schema.rb" Dir[File.join(RAILS_ROOT, "features/fixtures", '*.rb')].sort.each { |fixture| load fixture } end My fixture files live in features/fixtures/ and each looks like: # my_model.rb MyModel.transaction do MyModel.seed_many(:id, [ { :name => "blah", :id => 1 }, { :name => "foo", :id => 2 ]) end I use seed_fu for seeding production data as well. I don't use it in the sense of Rails fixtures. I use it in the sense of "the app needs this data to even run, period." Seems maybe this is what you're looking for, Zach On Wed, Oct 8, 2008 at 10:44 AM, Daniel Higginbotham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > aslak hellesoy wrote: >> On Wed, Oct 8, 2008 at 3:16 PM, Daniel Higginbotham >> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >>> Is it possible to use spec fixtures with Cucumber, and if so, how? >>> >> >> Google for cucumber fixtures >> >> http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/165215 >> http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/165777 > > Yep, I've read those threads and they both explain how to use > alternatives to fixtures, not fixtures themselves.
