# Database Cleaner

http://devblog.avdi.org/2012/08/31/configuring-database_cleaner-with-rails-rspec-capybara-and-selenium/

First of all, and this is very important, go into spec/spec_helper.rb and change this line:

config.use_transactional_fixtures = true
To:

config.use_transactional_fixtures = false
This will disable rspec-rails’ implicit wrapping of tests in a database transaction. Without disabling this, none of the following configuration will matter.

Now configure database_cleaner. I usually create a separate file called spec/support/database_cleaner.rb for this. Inside, I put something like this:

RSpec.configure do |config|

  config.before(:suite) do
    DatabaseCleaner.clean_with(:truncation)
  end

  config.before(:each) do
    DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :transaction
  end

  config.before(:each, :js => true) do
    DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :truncation
  end

  config.before(:each) do
    DatabaseCleaner.start
  end

  config.after(:each) do
    DatabaseCleaner.clean
  end

end

# Bootstrap

gem 'bootstrap-sass', '~> 3.3.5'
gem 'sass-rails', '>= 3.2'

bundle install and restart your server to make the files available through the pipeline.

Import Bootstrap styles in app/assets/stylesheets/application.scss:

// "bootstrap-sprockets" must be imported before "bootstrap" and "bootstrap/variables"
@import "bootstrap-sprockets";
@import "bootstrap";

bootstrap-sprockets must be imported before bootstrap for the icon fonts to work.

Make sure the file has .scss extension (or .sass for Sass syntax). If you have just generated a new Rails app, it may come with a .css file instead. If this file exists, it will be served instead of Sass, so rename it:

$ mv app/assets/stylesheets/application.css app/assets/stylesheets/application.scss

Then, remove all the //= require and //= require_tree statements from the file. Instead, use@import to import Sass files.

Do not use //= require in Sass or your other stylesheets will not be able to access the Bootstrap mixins or variables.


Require Bootstrap Javascripts in app/assets/javascripts/application.js:

//= require jquery
//= require bootstrap-sprockets

bootstrap-sprockets and bootstrap should not both be included in application.js.

bootstrap-sprockets provides individual Bootstrap Javascript files (alert.js or dropdown.js, for example), while bootstrap provides a concatenated file containing all Bootstrap Javascripts.
