Label References and RESTful Authentication in Rails 2
I’m working on a new project that is using the RESTful Authentication generator with Rails 2. As I started to take advantage of the label references capability in Rails 2, I ran into some problems. The default fixtures provided by RESTful Authentication look like this: quentin: id: 1 login: quentin email: quentin@example.com salt: 7e3041ebc2fc05a40c60028e2c4901a81035d3cd crypted_password: 00742970dc9e6319f8019fd54864d3ea740f04b1 # test created_at: aaron: id: 2 login: aaron email: aaron@example.com salt: 7e3041ebc2fc05a40c60028e2c4901a81035d3cd crypted_password: 00742970dc9e6319f8019fd54864d3ea740f04b1 # test created_at: The problem is that when you use label references, you cannot specify the id (the framework wants to generate the ID rather than let your DB generate it): quentin_workgroup_1: workgroup: quentin_workgroup user: quentin aaron_workgroup_1: workgroup: aaron_workgroup user: aaron The Fix? Simple – remove the IDs from the generated users.yml and things will work properly.

quentin:
id: 1

crypted_password: 00742970dc9e6319f8019fd54864d3ea740f04b1 # test
created_at: <%= 5.days.ago.to_s :db %>aaron:
id: 2
login: aaron
email: aaron@example.com

created_at: <%= 1.days.ago.to_s :db %>
The problem is that when you use label references, you cannot specify the id (the framework wants to generate the ID rather than let your DB generate it):
quentin_workgroup_1:
workgroup: quentin_workgroup
user: quentinaaron_workgroup_1:
workgroup: aaron_workgroup
user: aaron
The Fix? Simple – remove the IDs from the generated users.yml and things will work properly.
