    Hi,<br>
    <br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I''m having problems with functional
test, fixtures and legacy
    tables, the situation:<br>
    <br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I have a model like this: <br>
    <font color="#009900">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; # encoding:
UTF-8</font><br>
    <font color="#3333ff">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; class Product
&lt;
      ActiveRecord::Base</font><br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;
self.table_name_prefix =
"xst_"&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<br>
    <font color="#3333ff">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
end</font><br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; And the fixture (just renamed the file from
"prodcut.yml" to
    "xst_product.yml" the scaffold).<br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <font color="#009900"># encoding:
UTF-8</font><br>
    <font color="#3333ff">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; one:<br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; title: MyString</font><br>
    <br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; And the functional test (no
changes)<br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <font color="#009900"># encoding:
UTF-8</font><br>
    <font color="#3333ff">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; require
''test_helper''</font><br>
    <br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <font color="#3333ff">class
ProductsControllerTest &lt;
      ActionController::TestCase</font><br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; setup <font
color="#3333ff">do</font><br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; @product =
products(:one)<br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; <font
color="#3333ff">end</font><br>
    <br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; test "should get index"
<font color="#3333ff">do</font><br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; get
:index<br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; assert_response
:success<br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; assert_not_nil
assigns(:products)<br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; <font
color="#3333ff">end</font><br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ...<br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <font
color="#3333ff">end</font><br>
    <br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The unit test works fine, but when I run the
functional test I
    just receive "<font color="#cc0000">NoMethodError:
undefined method</font>"
    for all the test, after many "test" I have arrived to the
conclusion
    that the problem comes from the functional test that can-not find
    the fixtures. Is there any way to specify the prefix or a table name
    in the fixture?.<br>
    <br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I will appreciate any help.<br>
    <br>
