Hi, I had to wrap a model in a module to work around a name conflict.  
Now my model is MyApp::Country instead of Country. I also renamed the  
table to ‘myapp\_countries’ and used set\_table\_name ‘myapp\_countries’ in  
my model. Now my app works just fine with this, but I am having trouble  
getting my fixtures to load in my functional and unit tests. I renamed  
the countries fixture to ‘myapp\_countries.yml’, and used ‘fixtures  
:myapp\_countries’ in the tests but I keep getting the following errror:  
‘FixtureClassNotFound: The class “MyappCountry” was not found.’ Any  
ideas how to make this work? Thanks! Ingo
