Consider this issue report:

[http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=6241&group\_id=419&atid=1678](http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=6241&group_id=419&atid=1678)

It says I installed ZenTest, edited my test\_helper.rb to change the test suites to Test::Rails, and instantly got an error with this member missing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;self.use\_transactional\_fixtures = true

Because this is on a freshly generate Rails site, with no other lines of code that could derail a healthy ZenTest, I wonder if ZenTest is behind the times (specifically Rails 1.1.6), or if I'm doing something wrong.

How to install ZenTest better than this page?
