Hi all,  
I am having a problem with the relation ship with the fixtures.

My rails version is 2.2.2, and am using the old style of fixtures.

My models are

Class Account \< ActiveRecord::Base  
has\_many :users  
end

Class User \< ActiveRecord::Base  
belongs\_to :account  
end

My Fixtures are

#users.yml  
Harish:  
id: 1  
name: Harish  
account\_id: 1  
Rahul:  
id: 2  
name: Rahul  
account\_id: 1

#accounts.yml  
account1:  
id: 1  
name: Account1

so in my model code if I have  
1 user = User.find(user\_id)  
2 user.account.name

Then its giving NoMethodError in Line #2  
when I try user.account its giving # class but  
user.account.name is failing.

I also tried with the new fixtures as per Rails 2.0 still same problem.  
What I might be missing?  
Any thing should be loaded??  
This code is working in Rails 1.2.3 previously, but now its not  
working…  
Can any one help with this??
