Lib Specs and config.use_transactional_fixtures = true

Testing RSpec
1

Hi

We have specs in our rails project other than model/view/controller …
we have interests and lib …

using use_transactional_fixtures = true seems fine in a spec in the m/
v/c and interests directories but not in lib

Just wondered if anyone had any quick thoughts as to why that may be???

Thanks, that was helpful to know. It did not seem to be the issue I
was having though, the specs in lib causing the problem were using
before(:all) to setup database records … changed to use (:each) and
all was happy in the land of nod … that was the difference between
the specs in lib and interests … so not sure what I may be losing
(and not know it) without doing something like :behaviour_type
=> :model … I do suspect that may have been why I could not use
mock_model in a spec once … will have to find that example sometime
and look.

Thanks again

Shane
