For anyone looking to use this approach with MySQL/InnoDB... You can use these around the fixture.insert_fixtures block in Fixtures.rb: connection.execute("SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0") connection.execute("SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 1") And... I couldn't get the class_eval approach to work in /lib/. I required 'active_record/fixtures' and redefined Fixtures#self.create_fixtures directly in /config/environment.rb and this worked. Cheers. Thanks!

You can use these around the fixture.insert_fixtures block in Fixtures.rb:

connection.execute(“SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0″)
connection.execute(“SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 1″)

And… I couldn’t get the class_eval approach to work in /lib/. I required ‘active_record/fixtures’ and redefined Fixtures#self.create_fixtures directly in /config/environment.rb and this worked.

Cheers.
