Fixtures misbehaving

Rails
1

I think I’m understanding fixtures, but apparently not, because this
should
work, according to this page -

http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/26#page67

Using Ubuntu 5.10, Ruby 1.8, current Rails

Any ideas?

File Edit Options Buffers Tools Help
require File.dirname(FILE) + ‘/…/test_helper’

class UserTest < Test::Unit::TestCase

fixtures :users

def test_fixtures
assert_not_nil @users
end
end

$ ruby fixture_test.rb

The defaults for unit testing changed. For performance reasons, all
fixtures are not instantiated as models on each test. Mike C.'s
blog gives the details on this change:
