When a Rails server saves an object, this is not visible in my concurrent integration test

Rails
1

Note: I’m on Rails version 2.3.8

Hello,

I’m running integration tests on my controllers with a Watir-controller
Firefox. So two processes are running at the same time:

Process 1: Mongrel server in test environment (script/server -e test)
Process 2: ActionController::IntegrationTest running (also in Test
environment, obviously)

A Product can be bought by a customer (Account) through a Subscription
object.

This is what happens:

  1. IntegrationTest creates a new Product by saying Factory.create
    :product
  2. The browser is redirected to the Product’s page and buys the product.
  3. After going through the payment gateway, a Subscription object is
    created
    by Process 1
  4. However, Process 2 DOES NOT SEE that this object was created
  5. The integration test fails

Going through this process manually in development mode does everything
well, but I must automate this process. Any thoughts?

Some notes:

self.use_transactional_fixtures = false

Thanks in advance!

Does your integration test just sit there checking every so often? Can
you see the subscription in the database if you check by hand ?
