Hey all,

Just announcing a new plugin…

fixture\_references - Adds support for referencing external fixtures  
(by name) from within a fixture definition.

Example:

departments.yml:  
\<%  
fixtures :employees  
id = 0  
%\>

packaging:  
id: \<%= id += 1 %\>  
name: Packaging  
manager\_id: \<%= employees(:bob)[‘id’] %\>
