I was trying to deal with foreign key issues related to order of fixture loading when I came across this:
http://techpolesen.blogspot.com/2007/04/rails-fixture-tips.html This got me looking deeper into rails and I noticed that db:fixtures:load calls Fixtures.create_fixtures once for each fixture file. However, Fixtures.create_fixtures is capable of taking multiple files and also handle the correct order for both deletes and inserts, so I created a new rake task that handles deletes/inserts in the correct order based on ENV['FIXTURES']. I'm just wondering why the rake task doesn't work this way: namespace :db do namespace :fixtures do desc "Load fixtures into the current environment's database. Load specific fixtures using FIXTURES=x,y" task :load => :environment do require 'active_record/fixtures' ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(RAILS_ENV.to_sym) fixtures = (ENV['FIXTURES'] ? ENV['FIXTURES'].split(/,/) : Dir.glob(File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'test', 'fixtures', '*.{yml,csv}'))) Fixtures.create_fixtures('test/fixtures', fixtures) end end end --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
