Using Mongoid with Rspec

gistfile1.rb

#Using Mongoid with Rspec

#To prep for Rspec, make your gemfile look like this (Assuming Rails 3.x):

gem 'rspec-rails', :group => [:test, :development]
group :test do
  gem 'database_cleaner'
end

#Run: bundle install rails g rspec:install

#The first error message:

#undefined method `fixture_path=' for # (NoMethodError)

#Oops, just needed to comment out the line spec_helper.rb:

config.fixture_path = "#{::Rails.root}/spec/fixtures"

#Another error: undefined method `use_transactional_fixtures=' for # (NoMethodError)

#Oops, just needed to comment out the line spec_helper.rb:

config.use_transactional_fixtures = true


#Ideally, you want a clean database when you start each test. This is where the gem database_cleaner comes in handy.

#Then add this to spec_helper.rb file:

  config.before(:suite) do
    DatabaseCleaner[:mongoid].strategy = :truncation
  end

  config.before(:each) do
    DatabaseCleaner[:mongoid].start
  end

  config.after(:each) do
    DatabaseCleaner[:mongoid].clean
  end

#That's it!
