Question

Using Rails 3, I’ve changed the name of a table in the model like this:

# app/models/product.rb
class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
  set_table_name "items"
end

But when I try setting up tests, I get the following error:

Started
E
Finished in 0.027396 seconds.

  1) Error:
test_the_truth(CustomerTest):
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Mysql2::Error: Table 'project2_test.products' doesn't exist: DELETE FROM `products`


1 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 1 errors

Any idea how I can let it know about Products?

OK found the answer here:

Had to change the name of the Fixture yml file from Products to Items.
