Hello, I have fixtures used with unit testing but I would like to  
disable them with some of my functionnal tests (test datas are created  
in the setup() method) because I get a wrong number of :all records (the  
ones from the fixture file and the ones created by setup())

This occurs regardless of the :fixtures directive

Thanks
