Generating fixtures from database in Rails 3

Question

I want to generate fixtures from the development database in Rails 3.1. I tried using the yaml files created by yaml_db, but their structure is different from that of fixtures.

I am trying to get ar_fixtures to work, I put

gem 'ar_fixtures'

in my Gemfile and did a bundle install but "rake -T" doesnt show anything new.

Answer 1

That gem is years old and not 3.1 compatible likely. If you're ok with the fixtures being dumped into a single file, check out the 'yaml_db' gem on github
