Rails - Aug 2010 - Test Database Empty after "rake test"?

Hey,

can somebody tell me why my test database is always empty after I run
"rake test" but not after I test single test files? My rake db:seed
for
the test database takes like 6 minutes and I don''t really wanna reseed
it every time I run "rake test". Is it possible to not let "rake
test"
truncate my database?

I googled and went through the test files. There''s no hint or
anything... no one?

This question comes up on the list from time to time.  I''ll give the 
same answer I always give: that''s a really, really bad (and dangerous) 
idea.  The point is that each test starts from a known state.  You 
shouldn''t need your whole seed data to run your tests -- just use 
factories to create what you need for each test.

Best,

Yeah, you''re right. Might switch to Factories instead. Don''t
really need
500 NPC when I can test all the stuff having 5-10 :)
