You don't need to chuck everything out and start again however.  For
the tests that are giving you the problem at the moment start using a
factory (I like machinist rather than factory_girl but it is a matter
of personal preference) instead of the fixtures and as you add new
tests or need to change old ones then do the same.  There is no
problem keeping the fixtures for the existing tests.
