Hello all,
I am upgrading an older app from rails 1.2.3 to rails 2.0.2 and am upgrading rspec and rspec-on-rails to 1.1.3 in the process. After upgrading I am getting some weird errors relating to fixtures. Most of the model example groups have fixtures declared at the top. What is odd is that I can run any given spec file individually with the spec command and they run just fine. However, when I run all the specs with rake spec certain spec groups fail due to fixtures not being loaded properly. Meaning, the DB should of been populated by the fixtures but in the specs the tables are empty. I have ran './script/generate rspec' and in my spec_helper.rb I have:

Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
 config.use_transactional_fixtures = true
 config.use_instantiated_fixtures  = false

I know that rspec just relies on the test::unit fixture framework that rails provides so this isn't really a rspec issue but I'm hoping that someone on this list may have some ideas on what could be going wrong here. Were there changes to the way fixtures worked in rails 2.0 that would effect how I am doing things? I haven't used fixtures for ever (switched to a factory instead) so I haven't really kept up with there changes.... Any ideas on what could be wrong or how I could troubleshoot this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Ben
