Thanks to everyone in advance that can help me here. I am using the  
rspec and rspec\_on\_rails plugins ([http://rspec.rubyforge.org/](http://rspec.rubyforge.org/)  
documentation/rails/index.html) and have my tests in spec folder. The  
odd thing is is that when I run rake spec:models, the fixture data is  
loaded into the development, and not the test database, even though I  
have ENV[“RAILS\_ENV”] ||= “test” in spec\_helper.rb.

I appreciate the help getting the fixtures loaded into the correct  
database.
