As Marnen said this is normal behaviour. If an id value is explicitly provided for a record in the fixture data then that value will be used, otherwise a value is calculated from the name of the record (ie the heading line of the record in the fixture). This allows automatic linking of associated record. So if A has_many Bs and B belongs_to A then in A fixture: a_1: field_1: data field_2: data and in B fixture b_1: a: a_1 # instead of a_id: id_of_a_1_whatever_that_is this makes it much easier to link records than manually setting up all the id values Colin > > Zdenek > > On 1 srp, 00:36, Marnen Laibow-Koser <rails-mailing-l...@andreas- > s.net> wrote: >> BrendanC wrote: >> > I'm trying to load some Rake Fixtures (rake db:fixtures:load) into a >> > MySql database and I'm seeing some weird behaviour with AutoIncrement >> > values.
