fixture hack gets pluginized, caboose plugin repository lunches!

Courtenay : November 1st, 2006

Mmm.. lunch! They're not accepting new features into rails until after 1.2 is out, so I pluginized the awesome fixtures hack that lets you do 

id: 1
  user: :joe
  name: stuff
in your fixtures. Give it a twirl and tell me if it works..! Remember you have to handle dependencies yourself, so fixtures :users, :products, :monkeys if they all rely on each other 

script/plugin install svn://caboo.se/plugins/court3nay/awesome_fixtures
This is all viewable on the caboose svn repo ebola collaboa. If you're a facebook 'booser, login and it (should) give you ticketing access. It's a nasty hack that does the grunt work. Let me know if you have a plugin you want caboose svn hosted and I'll give you some authz.

    Power to the people!

    I’m installing this plugin right now and look forward to more sensible fixtures.

    Hi,

    The behavior of this plugin will be transparent when I run rake tests, Its ok?

    If is that case, I cannot get this plugin to work, I had to patch fixtures.rb again and works.

    I extended the functionallity of this patch to allow models using joins with :class_name specified.

    thanks
