Rails - Jun 2008 - Error loading fixtures with classes that set_table_name

Hi all,

I just hit a big wall involving a legacy database.  I''ve got an active
record class called "School" that uses "set_table_name
''old_school''" to
map to a legacy database table:

class School < ActiveRecord::Base
  set_table_name ''old_school''
end

It works great, until I''m testing and I want to use fixtures. 
I''ve got
a fixtures file called "old_school.yml" that doesn''t load. 
Following
some googled advice
(http://www.missiondata.com/blog/uncategorized/80/rails-fixtures-with-models-using-set_table_name/)
I learned that I had to use set_fixture_class to be able to map the
fixture back to the class name:

# in test_helper.rb
class Test::Unit::TestCase
  self.use_transactional_fixtures = true
  self.use_instantiated_fixtures  = false

  set_fixture_class :old_school => School

  fixtures :all
end

Seems like it ought to work, but the fixtures still don''t load!

Looking in my test.log I find:

Unable to load old_school, underlying cause no such file to load --
old_school

test/functional/admin_controller_test.rb:1:in `require''
test/functional/admin_controller_test.rb:1

If I "require ''school''" by hand, it makes no
difference.  The fixtures
still don''t load.

Has anybody run in to this?  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Brent
