Rails - Oct 2005 - [Rails 0.14.2] Tests failing because instantiated fixtures are off by default

Lately I''ve noticed a lot of unit test failures after upgrading to
rails
0.14.2.
After a bit of tinkering I noticed that the test_helper.rb file has the
use_instantiated_fixtures set to false.  If I am not mistaken, in previous
versions they were on by default.

If your tests use these, they might suddenly start failing on new rails
apps.
The solution is obvious, just turn them back on.

I encountered this specifically while using the salted login generator.
