Rails 2.3 Tests ( undefined method use_transactional_fixtures= )
Note that if you’re in edge rails your test helper has to have class class ActiveSupport::TestCase instead of class Test::Unit::TestCase.
Otherwise you’ll get: undefined method `use_transactional_fixtures=

Ugh. Thank you. After pages of irrelevant "answers" to this "problem" I found this. Hooray!

February 05, 2009 at 3:19 AMthanks man, what a silly error to be in edge rails
February 25, 2009 at 1:12 PMWonderful. Thank you for this answer! This fix worked perfectly.

March 15, 2009 at 7:10 AMYeah, this is one of those things that seems to affect a lot of people.
@brookr
Not sure. My tactic is just to google things, and hope for the best. (This means I often end up on entirely random mailing lists in japanese reading posts from 2004 too often, though...)
Thanks, you just saved me quite some time I think!
March 21, 2009 at 3:28 PMThanks! Just what I needed.
March 23, 2009 at 2:04 PMThanks as well for taking the time to post this for the community.
March 24, 2009 at 10:33 AMI guess I'm kinda late to the party... :-)
March 25, 2009 at 12:25 AMThank you for this tip!
initially i generated my app in 2.2.2 and due to nested form usage I switch to 2.3.2. While running my test i get the error "undefined method `use_transactional_fixtures=". by going through this solution I get rectified my problem.
