Question

I can’t get these fixtures to load and I don’t know why. After spending a few hours on the problem and starting to seriously question my grasp of reality. So I turn here in hope of someone pointing out the error with hopefully minimal ridicule.

I have tried doing it the same way as the api-docs describe and combining with the authlogic documentation. None of the posts I could find here on SO were of any help either.

Using ruby 1.9.2-p180

users.yml

one:
  id: 0
  username: testuserone
  email: [e-mail]
  password_salt: <%= salt = Authlogic::Random.hex_token %>
  crypted_password: <%= Authlogic::CryptoProviders::Sha512.encrypt("benrocks" + salt) %>
  persistence_token: <%= Authlogic::Random.hex_token %>
  posts: one, two

two:
  id: 1
  username: testusertwo
  email: [e-mail]
  password_salt: <%= salt = Authlogic::Random.hex_token %>
  crypted_password: <%= Authlogic::CryptoProviders::Sha512.encrypt("benrocks" + salt) %>
  persistence_token: <%= Authlogic::Random.hex_token %>
  posts: one, two, valid_post

posts.yml

one:
  title: First valid Awesome post
  content: Clearly awesome content
  user: one

two:
  title: Second valid Awesome post
  content: Clearly more awesome content
  user: one

valid_post:
  title: Awesome post
  content: Clearly awesome content
  user: one

empty_post:
  title: 
  content: 
  user: one

user.rb – model

rake db:fixtures:load gives

Answer 1

Well turns out it started working either when I migrated the test db or when I gave all posts names that differed from users like :user_one, :user_two
