Rails - Oct 2005 - testing over-rides of AR

if I sub-class AR::Base, and then over-ride one of the methods, how do I go 
about testing that my change doesn''t break any of the other AR::Base
methods
which might rely on it? Ideally I''d like to run the AR unit tests from
the
rails source on my sub-class, but I''m not sure how to or even if
that''s te
right approach.

thanks for any input

If you''ve written any new methods, you would have to test them  
yourself; however, if you want to ensure that the old functionality  
is still there, I have an idea: instead of making a subclass, just re- 
open ActiveRecord::Base and override the relevant methods with  
yours.  Then run the AR test units as normal.
