  has_and_belongs_to_many :milkmans

i am using  has_and_belongs_to_many  in my app.I know this will create
third table internally cows_milkmans in mysql database.

when i migrate develpoment database i  have table cows_milkmans. Good no
Problem till now.

Now a problem start When i migrate test database there is no
such cows_milkmans table is present..
And we all know that   has_and_belongs_to_many not generate any migrate
file.

There is no need to run migrate on the test db.
rake db:test:prepare
will create or update the test database to the same state as the 
development db.

Also have a look at the Rails Guide on Testing for more information.
