Can you suggest a fixtures replacement for a MongoDB-based Rails 3.1 project?

Rails

Hey guys,

I’m taking the plunge and building a new app on Rails 3.1 (asset
pipelining ROCKS) and using MongoDB as the backend. Does anyone know
of any good fixtures replacements that work with MongoDB and Rails
3.1? I could really use some advice there.

Also, a follow-up question: the two ODMs I’ve seen for MongoDB are
Mongoid and MongoMapper. I’m hoping to keep as much ActiveRecord-like
functionality as possible in my application, so which would be
“closer” to AR? After looking at both briefly I’m thinking that would
be MongoMapper, but as I said - I only had time to look briefly so
far - I’d prefer hearing a more experienced opinion. Additionally, do
they both perform roughly equally as well, or is one known for being
more or less efficient than the other? Are there other ODMs I should
consider using?

Thanks guys.

I’ve used factory girl with mongomapper quite happily

I am using Mongoid and factory girl works fine. Havent used mongomapper,
but Mongoid seems to provide the flexibility of using active record type
relationships, with ongoing active support and upgrades to the orm.
