# In most cases, Rails' own plugin testing mechanisms are sufficient. However, there
# are cases where plugins can be given a helping hand in the testing arena. This module 
# contains some methods to assist when testing plugins that contain fixtures.
# 
# == Fixtures and plugins
#
# Since Rails' own fixtures method is fairly strict about where files can be loaded from,
# the simplest approach when running plugin tests with fixtures is to simply copy all
# fixtures into a single temporary location and inform the standard Rails mechanism to
# use this directory, rather than RAILS_ROOT/test/fixtures.
#
# The Engines::Testing#setup_plugin_fixtures method does this, copying all plugin fixtures
# into the temporary location before and tests are performed. This behaviour is invoked
# the the rake tasks provided by the Engines plugin, in the "test:plugins" namespace. If
# necessary, you can invoke the task manually.
#
# If you wish to take advantage of this, add a call to the Engines::Testing.set_fixture_path
# method somewhere before your tests (in a test_helper file, or above the TestCase itself).
#
# = Testing plugins
#
# Normally testing a plugin will require that Rails is loaded, unless you are including
# a skeleton Rails environment or set of mocks within your plugin tests. If you require
# the Rails environment to be started, you must ensure that this actually happens; while
# it's not obvious, your tests do not automatically run with Rails loaded.
#
# The simplest way to setup plugin tests is to include a test helper with the following
# contents:
#
#   # Load the normal Rails helper. This ensures the environment is loaded
#   require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../../../../test/test_helper')
#   # Ensure that we are using the temporary fixture path
#   Engines::Testing.set_fixture_path
#
# Then run tests using the provided tasks (<tt>test:plugins</tt>, or the tasks that the engines
# plugin provides - <tt>test:plugins:units</tt>, etc.).
#
# Alternatively, you can explicitly load the environment by adpating the contents of the
# default <tt>test_helper</tt>:
#
#   ENV["RAILS_ENV"] = "test"
#   # Note that we are requiring config/environment from the root of the enclosing application.
#   require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../../../../config/environment")
#   require 'test_help'

  # 
  # If a set of plugins is not given, fixtures are copied from all plugins in order 
  # of precedence, meaning that plugins can 'overwrite' the fixtures of others if they are 
  # loaded later; the application's fixtures are copied last, allowing any custom fixtures
  # to override those in the plugins. If no argument is given, plugins are loaded via
