acts_as_enumerated Blowing Up Your Testing Spot?

If acts_as_enumerated classes are borking when you run your tests, here's a nasty workaround I did that just might work for you:

          class MembershipStatus < ActiveRecord::Base
          if RAILS_ENV == 'test'
            def self.[](label)
              case label
              when :pending
                MembershipStatus.new(:id => 1)
              when :accepted
                MembershipStatus.new(:id => 2)
              when :denied
                MembershipStatus.new(:id => 3)
              when :invited
                MembershipStatus.new(:id => 4)
              end
            end
          else
            acts_as_enumerated
          end
        end
