Rails core - Feb 2006 - Fixing fixtures with set_table_name

Fixture accessor methods don''t work with set_table_name because the
class name can''t be inferred from the table name. I''ve created
a patch
which fixes this (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3935).

Please take a look and throw suggestions my way.

Here''s the current usage for a model Joke which uses a table name of
funny_jokes:

class SetTableNameFixturesTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
  set_fixture_class :funny_jokes => ''Joke''
  fixtures :funny_jokes

  def test_table_method
    assert_kind_of Joke, funny_jokes(:a_joke)
  end
end

After [3690]

http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/3690

rake db::fixtures::load fails.

$ rake db:fixtures:load --trace

/opt/local/bin/rake:18

Could we make the new, third argument to Fixture.create_fixtures  
optional and default to {} for backwards compatibility?

Thanks Lars, should be fixed. Let me know if not.
