Label Reference of Fixtures

rubyonrails-talk

Hi,...

I am having trouble with label reference in fixtures...

I have two fixtures like this :

### cars.yml one:   name: Ferari two:   name: Volvo

### drivers.yml one:   name: Stall   car: Ferari

'Drivers' table have a 'belongs_to' clause to the 'cars' table, vice versa with 'has_many'

Evertime i am running my test, and access the 'drivers(:one).car', I always get nil result.

Can some one tell me where my mistake?

Thanks in advance,

That should be car: one - You reference the fixture label, not any of the data inside it.

This should be Ferari:   name: Ferari

two: name: Volvo

### drivers.yml one: name: Stall car: Ferari

The Ferari here refers to Ferari: above, not to the name field, which is a column in the db. They need not be the same.

And I'd recommend making the 'ids' more intention revealing

### cars.yml luigis_car: name: Ferari svens_car: name: Volvo

### drivers.yml luigi: name: Stall car: luigis_car
