How to use fixtures with merb

I am using RSpec as the test framework:

spec_helper.rb

# Helper method to adding the fixtures into the tests

def fixtures(*files)

  files.each do |file|

    klass = begin

      Kernel::const_get(Extlib::Inflection.classify(Extlib::Inflection.singularize(file.to_s)))

    rescue

      nil

    end

    entries = YAML::load_file(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/fixtures/#{file}.yml")

    # do a migrate to create the table to clear the records

    klass.auto_migrate!

    created_objs = {}

    entries.each do |name, entry|

      created_objs[name] = klass.create(entry)

    end

    self.instance_variable_set("@#{file}", created_objs) 

    self.class.class_eval do

      define_method(file) do |key|

        self.instance_variable_get("@#{file}")[key.to_s] 

      end

    end

  end

end
