Bug in fixtures?

Hello,

Below is a test case which shows strange fixtures behaviour (tested against edge revision 7955). Is this behaviour correct or should I fill a bug report?

class StrangeFixturesBehaviourTest < Test::Unit::TestCase fixtures :topics

def test_disturbed_fixtures    topics(:first) # causes trouble later

   content = "Have a drink! Enjoy! Welcome to paradise!"

   Topic.find(1).update_attributes(:content => content)

   assert_equal content, topics(:first).content # fails end

def test_undisturbed_fixtures    content = "Have a drink! Enjoy! Welcome to paradise!"

   Topic.find(2).update_attributes(:content => content)

   assert_equal content, topics(:second).content # passes end

end

This is expected behavior. Maybe this helps to understand:   topic = Topic.find(1)   Topic.find(1).update_attributes(:content => 'foo')   assert_not_equal 'foo', topic.content   assert_equal 'foo', topic.reload.content

So use topics(:first).reload to pull the intervening update from the db.
