Rails - Dec 2005 - encrypted passwords and fixtures

maybe i''m not seeing the forest through the trees, but how might i go
about
representing encrypted passwords in fixtures?  should i just encrypt them at
the CL copy/paste into the fixture?  Not sure if there''s a
''proper'' way to
do this.

Thanks.

You can include eRb tags in your YAML fixture files, so you can
actually do the encryption right in the fixture:

-- BEGIN accounts.yml --
<% require ''sha1'' %>
first:
  id: 1
  username: user_one
  password: <%= SHA1::hexdigest ''user_one_password'' %>
-- END accounts.yml --

Obviously, modify that for whatever encryption scheme you''re using.
