rspec users - Feb 2007 - Using rspec_on_rails without a test database

Is there some way to remove the database hit when running rake  
rspec:models ?  I''d like to mock all of my objects (or at least  
remove all reliance on fixtures and the database itself) - both for  
speed and because static fixtures are brittle.

Best Regards,

Scott Taylor

I think my solution may be to use the drb server to speed up tests.

Does anyone know who maintains the spec:autotest plugin?  I''d be  
interested in contributing a patch to use drb instead of the typical  
spec task.

Best Regards,

Scott

There''s not yet, but you''re not the first to ask:

http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=6523&group_id=797&atid=3152

It''s something that we''ll add sooner or later. In the mean
time, there
is some writing about how to test Rails w/o a database using the tools
that ship w/ Rails that might help you. Check out Chad Fowler''s book,
Rails Recipes, and also Jay Field''s blog:
http://jayfields.blogspot.com/.

Hope that helps.
