Just spent a good bit of time trying to figure out why I couldn't get
fixtures to work in a plugin test. I was including
ActiveRecord::TestFixtures into ActiveSupport::TestCase and trying to
get fixtures to automatically reload for every test like regular Rails
tests.
The problem was in the first line of
ActiveRecord::TestFixtures.setup_fixtures:
return unless defined?(ActiveRecord) &&
!ActiveRecord::Base.configurations.blank?
This causes setup_fixtures to silently return without doing anything if
you call ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection directly without
setting ActiveRecord::Base.configurations. The method doesn't appear to
actually use the configurations.
Is there some reason for this behavior? It appears like it should be
removed to me, but if it is there for a reason, maybe it can be
documented that populating configurations is a prerequisite to using
fixtures in plugins.
I am using 2.3.5 but it appears to still be the case in edge.
