Rails fixtures load not working as stated (2.3.4)

as staed in the API, I am loading fixtures into a table :

rake db:fixtures:load FIXTURES=ecourses without specifying the id in
a simple has_many/belongs_to association, and I get an ‘unknow
column’ error for the foreign_key…
if I change the FK to a label interpolation, then I got it running
well…

I am using the following tset code
:
Models--------------
class Epath < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :ecourses
end

class Ecourse < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :epath
end

Fixtures---------------

epaths

complexPath:
name: Complex One

ecourses.yml

curabitur:
name: Curabitur
epath: complexPath

error : Mysql::Error: Unknown column ‘epath’ in ‘field list’ : INSERT
INTO ecourses (epath,…

BUT if I modify the Fixtures

ecourses.yml

curabitur:
name: Curabitur
epath_id: <%= Fixtures.identify(:complexPath) %>

then I got it done …

what’s wrong in my code ?

tfyh
