Rails - Apr 2010 - Loading Fixtures Earlier

I have a few ActiveRecord subclasses that reassign their default scope
upon instantiation based on some criteria (i.e. subclasses of the AR
model Person will change their default scope according to rows found
in the `roles` table). This works find during development, but during
testing this fails because the fixtures (which contain the `roles`
items) are not loaded until after the models are causing an exception
to be raised.

Is there any way to have fixtures loaded earlier on in the testing
process, or is there some proper Rails-provided way to seed the test
database?

Thanks,
—matt

     Yes. From 2.3.4 onwards there is db/seeds.rb file .You can write 
put data there. For more information please watch this Railscast
