I have a problem running tests that use fixtures with associations between models.

Here's the error I get, as soon as I run rake test:

I'm testing a rails engine. Here's my fixtures:

# test/fixtures/seven_portfolio/items.yml
item_one: {}
item_two: {}

# test/fixtures/seven_gallery/galleries.yml
gallery_one:
  title: seven_gallery_gallery_one_title
  item: item_one

# test/fixtures/seven_gallery/photos.yml
photo_one:
  caption: photo_one_caption
  gallery: gallery_one

# test/fixtures/seven_portfolio/item_videos.yml
one:
  item: item_one

When, for example, I remove item: item_one and similar associations lines. The test works well.
