I am using Authlogic for user authentecation and create a users.yml  
for fuctional testing. My unit tests pass, but functional tests fail;  
since the fixture data wasn’t saved to the test database. I get errors  
like: StandardError: No fixture with name …

I few weeks back… the users.yml file was working fine and storing  
user records in the test database. I think the update to Rails 2.3.2  
change something or the Authlogic gem update.

I’ve tried dropping all my tables in both test and development  
databases then running…

rake db:migrate  
rake db:fixtures:load

…but the result is a user table with no records.

Is there something I need to add to my tests to store the fixture  
data?

Many thanks,
