Rails - Dec 2005 - fixtures misbehaving

I think I''m understanding fixtures, but apparently not, because this
should
work, according to this page -

http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/26#page67

Using Ubuntu 5.10, Ruby 1.8, current Rails

Any ideas?

File Edit Options Buffers Tools Help
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper''

class UserTest < Test::Unit::TestCase

  fixtures :users

  def test_fixtures
    assert_not_nil @users
  end
end



$ ruby fixture_test.rb

The defaults for unit testing changed.  For performance reasons, all
fixtures are not instantiated as models on each test.  Mike Clark''s
blog gives the details on this change:
