I assume that it’s not able to drop the users table because of a
foreign key constraint in the messages table. I’m not using the
messages fixture in these unit tests though, so it shouldn’t matter.

I want to use foreign key constraints in my database, but I also want
to be able to unit test my code. What am I missing here?

This is the same issue covered in ticket #2404 which Eric linked to.

I actually figured out the answer to this problem, it was because of a
custom test_helper.rb file in the LoginEngine. However as I mentioned
in a reply, one of my unit tests is complaining about a fixture that
shouldn’t even be loaded in that particular file. I only specify the
users and the tickets fixtures, but it complains that some record in
the messages table references a user record. There shouldn’t be any
messages records though, so I’m just confused.
