I’m runnig Rails 1.1.2 and I’m trying to use a namespace with my model  
class such as Namespace::Test so I run:

script/generate model namespace/test  
create app/models/namespace  
create test/unit/namespace  
create test/fixtures/namespace  
create app/models/namespace/test.rb  
create test/unit/namespace/test\_test.rb  
create test/fixtures/namespace/tests.yml  
create db/migrate  
create db/migrate/001\_create\_namespace\_tests.rb

However, the unit test has the line “fixtures :tests” which causes the  
test to fail because it looks for the fixture file in  
test/fixtures/tests.yml instead of test/fixtures/namespace.yml. How do I  
tell the unit test to look for fixtures in it’s own namespace? Should I  
file this as a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,  
Todd

I meant to say “it looks for the fixture file in  
test/fixtures/tests.yml instead of test/fixtures/namespace/tests.yml”.  
Sorry for the mistake!
