Here&#8217;s how it went down:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/8392">8392</a> broke it</li> <li><a href="http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/8430">8430</a> tagged 2.0.2</li> <li><a href="http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/8442">8442</a> reverted 8392</li> <li><a href="http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/8445">8445</a> added a test so it doesn&#8217;t break again</li> </ul> <p>You can see some code illustrating the problem in 8445. This affects two plugins that we&#8217;re using &#8211; <a href="http://nubyonrails.com/articles/test-your-helpers">helper_test</a> and <a href="http://code.google.com/p/activemessaging/wiki/ActiveMessaging">activemessaging</a>.</p> <p>For the helper test, the work around is to rename your helper test setup methods to <code>setup_with_fixtures</code>.</p><table class="CodeRay"><tr> <td class="line_numbers" title="click to toggle" onclick="with (this.firstChild.style) { display = (display == '') ?
