Db:fixtures:load not working anymore?!

Rails
1

Hello people,

for some reason my db:fixtures:load FIXTURES=menus doesn’t work anymore.
This is my output:
debian:/var/www/project# rake db:fixtures:load FIXTURES=menus
(in /var/www/project)
rake aborted!
Could not find /var/www/project/test/fixtures/m.yml or
/var/www/project/test/fixtures/m.csv

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Does anyone know why it’s looking for m.yml instead of menus.yml?

Problem solved, I played around and figured out that Rails 3 apparently
needs the file ending as well.

rake db:fixtures:load FIXTURES=menus.yml works fine!

Great. Now stop using fixtures. They’re a broken feature of Rails and
should be avoided entirely.

Install Machinist or Factory Girl and rewrite your tests to use
factories. They’ll be less brittle and easier to maintain.

Haha, I know. It’s just a small part that remained in fixture and too
lazy to move them to machinist. Will do soon, promise! :slight_smile:
