@jamesladd: spec/support/database_cleaner.rb
This strategy is randomly deleting entries from my database in the middle of some of my tests for no apparent reason using Capybara-Webkit for tests with javascript enabled. Wish I could give more insight but it seems to be extremely random. Database is MYSQL.
@gregblass we are encountering the exact same problem. Did you find a solution?
@gregblass @ptrikutam no solution?
@thelastinuit unfortunately, I'm not sure -- this was almost 5 years ago so I'm guessing I either figured it out or abandoned it. I've had a ton of trouble in general with capybara-webkit / JS testing.
I've used Database Cleaner on several projects since so I think it might have been resolved in more recent versions?
Yeah, that's the thing - Database Cleaner is no longer necessary since Rails 5, as they added 1st class transaction rollback support. You can just set 'use transactional fixtures' to true in test.rb and call it a day.
Anyone still following this - just upgrade to Rails 5, and use the default rspec/capybara configuration out of the box and everything will just work.
However, if upgrading to Rails 5 is easier said than done for a particular project in your case - I actually did just use database cleaner (today) for one project that is still using Rails 4. Just use the current config they have posted on the database cleaner github readme (https://github.com/DatabaseCleaner/database_cleaner#rspec-with-capybara-example). I copy pasted that and was good to go immediately.
@gregblass @ptrikutam nvm... 🤦♂️ it was a stupid mistake... sorry to bother you guys.
Where in your project do you typically put this file and from where is it required (test_helper.rb)?
