+    # After running the spec for DashboardGenerator, the fake models that

+    # explicitly. This causes RouteGenerator to take them into
+    # account and generate routes for them, which its spec doesn't expect,
+    # causing a spec failure.
+    #
+    # To avoid this, the spec for DashboardGenerator defines its fake models
+    # as children of TestRecord. Then RoutesGenerator explicitly filters
+    # child classes of TestRecord when figuring out what models exist.
