Hi all,
I've got a weird problem with loading fixtures, and I'm hoping someone out there can help. I'm having problems running my tests, because for one of my models the fixtures are loading strangely. Here's an example fixture:
john_doe: status: student department: alumni: title: applicant: student_status: staff: pref_first_name: faculty: applicant_status: year_in_school: freshman chair: pidm: 12345678 reed_id: L12345 program: middle_initial: first_name: John student: Y login: doej last_name: Doe email: doej@reed.edu
This is a model that's wrapping a legacy table. It has no id column. However, its pidm column is the primary key, so in my model I've got:
set_primary_key :pidm alias_attribute :id, :pidm
If I load up my fixtures using "rake:fixtures:load RAILS_ENV=test" then everything works just fine. My 5 fixtures for this model go in to the test db exactly as written. However, when I run my test suite, and rails loads the fixtures, 3 of the 5 fixtures load up with their pidm field set to 91.
It's surprising because it's only 3 of the 5. I've been poking at it all morning, with no luck. I've changed data values, etc., and it's always the same 3 that come out with 91. The other 2 fixtures have the pidm that's set in the fixture's yaml file.
Has anybody encountered this? Or does anybody have suggestions?
Thanks!
