Rails - Nov 2005 - transaction rollbacks in tests

Hi,

In my controller I have a transaction that has to be rolled back
according to the data passed as parameter (@params), an exception
being raised accordingly.
When running it from the browser, the rollback happens as needed when
the exception is raised.
When testing it, passing the exact same @params, the rollback doesn''t
happen although the exception is raised (I put a breakpoint in the
rescue part, and the breakpoint was run)..

Anyone knows what happens? Does it have to do with the rollback done
after each test method?

Thanks.

Hey Raph, turn off transactional fixtures for these tests:

class FooTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
   self.use_transactional_fixtures = false

   def test_whether_my_txn_rolled_back
     #...
   end
end
