Rails - May 2006 - @products["car"] is not being recognized in my tests!! help

@products["car"] is not being recognized in my tests:

class ProductsControllerTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
  fixtures :products

  def test_view_product
    post :view_product, :id=>@products["car"].id
    assert_template "view_product"
    ...
  end

end

products.yml :

car:
  id:1
  name:test

Does anyone have any idea why its not working?
Im having to do this instead, which is not ideal:
post :view_product, :id=>1

Thanks
Chris

Does using product("car").id instead of @products["car"].id
fix your
problem?

Cheers,

Dan.

Yeah that seems to work.  Though according to the "Agile Development 
with rails" book :

"When a fixture is loaded, its put into a Hash object referenced by an 
instance variable of the test case.  For example the :products fixture 
is convieniently loaded into the @products instance variable."

That goes against what you suggested and what seems to work.  Any Ideas 
whats going on?  Its hard to believe they''ve changed the way it works
so
drastically,

Thanks
Chris
