get the autogenerated ids of fixtures in rails

I have created some fixtures without ID in my rails 4.2 application. Since I relay on the ids in the url, I need a way to retrieve the autogenerated IDs in the database in the minitest files.

Remark: I am not using explicit ids in the fixtures. I am using this format:

student:
  name: Reginald_the_Pirate
  age: 14

In my controller I want something like:

get: :student, student_id: "?"

this is the response. It is easier than what expected: 

students(:Reginald_the_Pirate).id
