[rspec-users] rspec and set_table_name?

[Matt Allen]

Hi Richard;

I use set_table_name too.

Here is my set-up.

product.rb
class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
 set_table_name "cart_products"
end

product_spec.rb
context "A product with fixtures loaded" do
 set_fixture_class :cart_products => 'Product'
 fixtures :cart_products
end

Your fixtures should be the same name as you table, so in my case 
cart_products.

HTH,
Matta
