  Hi Jared,

  should_have_many checks the association definition for a foreign_key statement, and will check the associated class for that column if it's set. So you shouldn't have to explicitly tell should_have_many what the foreign_key is.

  For example:

  class Dog < ActiveRecord::Base
    belongs_to :user, :foreign_key => :owner_id
  end
  

  class DogTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
    should_belong_to :user
  end
  

  In that instance, "should_belong_to :user" sees that the belongs_to relationship is specifying a foreign key, and will assert that the key is on the dog's table.
