3.0.1¶ ↑

Made it into a rubygem. Get it from gemcutter:
```
gem install fixture_replacement
```
You’ll need to require “fixture_replacement” (or load “fixture_replacement”) in your spec_helper, test_helper, or anywhere else you plan to use it.
validate instances with FixtureReplacement.validate!

3.0.0¶ ↑

Better Support for Reloading (call FR.reload! after calling reload! in the console or in your spec helper)
default_* is gone. Use new_* instead. This will necessitate that declarations of the form validates_presence_of :association_id change to validates_presence_of :association
attributes_for now yields the real active record object, not an OpenStruct, providing for increased flexibility

Cyclic dependencies can be handled by checking the overrides hash passed to the builders:

attributes_for :event do |event, hash|
  e.schedule = new_schedule(:event => event) unless hash[:schedule]
end

attributes_for :schedule do |schedule, hash|
  s.event = new_event(:schedule => schedule) unless hash[:event]
end

String.random is gone in favor of the method random_string. Call random_string as you would previously in FixtureReplacement:

module FixtureReplacement
  attributes_for :user do |u|
    u.username = random_string
  end
end

To replace calls to String.random in your specs or elsewhere, use the FixtureReplacement module instead:

FixtureReplacement.random_string

# or:

FR.random_string # FR is a convenience alias for FixtureReplacement

Huge internal code cleanup

Add FR as an alias for FixtureReplacement. This should make it considerably easier to use FR in the console:

smt$ ./script/console
Loading development environment (Rails 2.2.2)
>> include FR
=> Object
>> create_user
=> #<User id: 14 ... >

Use better loading. Allow FixtureReplacement to be reloaded if cache_classes = false
Removed generator, since db/example_data.rb is no longer required.
Removed required db/example_data.rb. fixture_replacement can now be used outside of a rails project:

Add definitions in-line in your spec or test helper:
```
FixutreReplacement.attributes_for :users do |u|
  ...
end
```
Or just open up the module directly:
```
module FixtureReplacement
  attributes_for :users do |u|
    ..
  end
end
```
Dual license the project. You now have your pick between the MIT and GPL licenses.

02/18/07¶ ↑

Bug Fix, closes [#18042] example_data doesn’t accept default_x for HABTM relationships
Refactoring: Now classes are specified in FixtureReplacementController::ClassFactory

02/13/07¶ ↑

Better error support Bug Fix: [#17249] String.random in a STI base class works, but doesn’t work with inherited classes Removed after_include hook

01/12/07¶ ↑

Adding this CHANGELOG Added test/unit tests for integration with test/unit Fixed [#16858] Unable to create relationships between fixtures
