rspec users - Jun 2009 - Fixtures are not loaded while running controller spec

Hi,

   I am running controller spec and it gives me result as 0 examples, 0
failures.

   I checked into the database and i saw that fixtures are not loaded.

   Following are the details of my controller file.


   require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) +
''/../spec_helper'')
def valid_bb_post_attributes
  {
    :body => "test description",
    :title => "test"
  }
end
describe BbPostsController do
  context "test" do
    fixtures :bb_posts, :users
    @user = User.find_by_login("amit")
    if @user
      it "should create post" do
        post = create_post
        post.should be_valid
      end
    end
  end

My bb_posts.ml file contains

bb_post1:
  id: 1
  body: body_description
  title: test

bb_post2:
  id: 2
  body: aasasaskajs
  title: wwwww

Similarly my users.yml contains

amit:
  id: 6
  login: amit
  email: amit at test.com

kiran:
  id : 7
  login: kiran
  email: kiran at test.com


I dont know what is wrong.
Please suggest :-)

Make sure that the fixtures are in the same place that is declared in
spec/spec_helper.rb.

Why do you have that if there?  That''s gotta be screwing you up.  So
the way Rails tests work, the fixtures don''t get loaded until an
example is run.  In your code, you''re trying to find a user that
probably doesn''t exist due to there being no fixtures loaded yet.  So
why are you doing that find and subsequent if?  Try changing it to:

describe BbPostsController do
  context "test" do
    fixtures :bb_posts, :users
    it "should create post" do
      User.find_by_login("amit").should_not be_nil
      post = create_post
      post.should be_valid
    end
  end
end

(that''s an odd spec but let''s try to get your fixtures loading
first :)

My fixtures are under spec/fixtures directory.

Earlier it were working fine.But suddenly i dont know what went wrong.
Also i checked that if i comment fixtures line then the specs are 
running fine.

Again when i uncomment the fixtures line then it is not working and 
fixtures are not getting loaded.
