Hi guys, I've noticed the trend of trimming the fat from Rails in preparation for version 4 (which I appreciate).
Do you think it'd make sense to also remove the test fixtures engine from Rails 4? From what I've seen, it's now more common to use more advanced solutions, with FactoryGirl leading the pack, and it's usually more practical to use Ruby to define fixtures, rather than YAML. More specifically: - would the core team approve of such effort? - how much work would it mean? - (related) how tightly are fixtures actually used within Rails' tests? It's hard to me to estimate the overall value/cost ratio, but if it's high enough, I'd be willing to take a shot at it. -- Bye, Olek Janiszewski (exviva) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
