Rspec-rails: set_fixture_class doesn't work in config.before block
This does not work:
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.before { set_fixture_class :foo => Bar }
end
If I try to run that, it tells me: spec_helper.rb:6:in 'included': undefined method 'set_fixture_class' for FixtureClasses:Module (NoMethodError).
In order to get the equivalent functionality, I need to jump through hoops like:
module FixtureClasses
extend ActiveSupport::Concern
included do
set_fixture_class :foo => Bar
end
end
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include FixtureClasses
end

That's because set_fixture_class is a class method, but before hooks run in instance scope. You'll need to do something like:
config.before {
self.class.class_eval {
set_fixture_class :foo => Bar
}
}

Can you just do:
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.set_fixture_class :foo => Bar
end

@justinko : that gives me undefined method 'set_fixture_class' for #<RSpec::Core::Configuration:0x007fb813d3fe78> (NoMethodError)

@skizzybiz sorry @dchelimsky is right, it is a class method.

Since set_fixture_class is a public method, you can also do this:
config.before do
self.class.set_fixture_class :foo => Bar
end

config.before does not quite work when you also have before blocks that reference fixture foo. In those cases the before block closer to the spec gets invoked first, which would again throw FixtureClassNotFound: No class attached to find. Using before(:all) solves it for me.
config.before(:all) do
self.class.set_fixture_class :foo => Bar
end
