Hi, I am seeing some strangeness with fixture loading in our suite of specs. 1st up any join table fixture or namespaced model causes an error in test.log example Unable to load advertising\_channels\_position\_profile, underlying cause no such file to load – advertising\_channels\_position\_profile / Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in `gem\_original\_require’/ it seems to looking for a model corresponding with a fixture, since this is a join table fixture there is no model Further weirdness is when using transactional fixtures i get loads of errors like “Can’t find User with ID=1” when i know the record is in the db i can output the db contents along side it. all these errors dissapear with transactional fixtures turned off a majority of the specs i have looked at pass individually but error when run by autotest or verify with spec rcov Anyone got any ideas rails 2.1 rspec 1.1.4 ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03 patchlevel 114) [universal-darwin9.0] Cheers Steven /\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*/ Steven H.

I am seeing what I think is the same issue - but slightly different characteristics. My site was started from scratch in Rails 2.1 (no upgrade). The ‘missing file’ appears to me to be because the whatever infers association names isn’t pluralizing both halves. There is no file roles\_user.yml because it is roles\_users.yml. Other differences: Changing transactional fixtures to ‘false’ do not fix this for me And I am using Enterprise Ruby 1.8.6-20080709 Unable to load roles\_user, underlying cause no such file to load – roles\_user /software/stow/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080709/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require' /software/stow/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080709/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in`require’ /software/stow/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080709/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active\_support/dependencie s.rb:509:in `require' /software/stow/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080709/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active_support/dependencie\ s.rb:354:in`new\_constants\_in’ /software/stow/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080709/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active\_support/dependencie s.rb:509:in `require' /software/stow/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080709/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active_support/dependencie\ s.rb:101:in`require\_or\_load’ /software/stow/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080709/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active\_support/dependencie s.rb:60:in `depend_on' /software/stow/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080709/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active_support/dependencie\ s.rb:456:in`require\_dependency’ /software/stow/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080709/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.1.0/lib/active\_record/fixtures.rb:8 55:in `try_to_load_dependency' /software/stow/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080709/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.1.0/lib/active_record/fixtures.rb:8\ 70:in`require\_fixture\_classes’ /software/stow/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080709/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.1.0/lib/active\_record/fixtures.rb:8 67:in `each' /software/stow/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080709/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.1.0/lib/active_record/fixtures.rb:8\ 67:in`require\_fixture\_classes’ /software/stow/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080709/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.1.0/lib/active\_record/fixtures.rb:8 50:in `fixtures' ./test/integration/../test_helper.rb:41 ./test/integration/page_permissions_test.rb:1:in`require’ ./test/integration/page\_permissions\_test.rb:1 /software/stow/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080709/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.1/lib/rake/rake\_test\_loader.rb:5:in `load' /software/stow/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080709/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.1/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb:5 /software/stow/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080709/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.1/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb:5:in`each’ /software/stow/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080709/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.1/lib/rake/rake\_test\_loader.rb:5 ---

It sounds like it’s spotting your roles\_users.yml fixture and trying to load the matching class (RolesUser from roles\_user). If that’s just a habtm then there is no such model (and that fixture file isn’t actually necessary if you use the foxy fixtures stuff in rails 2.0 & above) Fred
