Hi, I am a bit confused, I have a few functionnal tests were I add/delete records on top of the ones provided in the fixture and it seems like the records are surviving the teardown. Isnt teardown supposed to be ran after each test? So if I have something like: def teardown Client.delete_all Concept.delete_all Variation.delete_all ClientVariation.delete_all end All the records from my DB should be deleted... Well, when I run my test, I get a faillure on a test that is supposed to make sure that a specific record is deleted. When I look at the DB, the record is still there. The test goes like this: def test_delete_concept #make sure the concept record is present assert_not_nil Concept.find(concepts(:entreprise).id) #make sure the variations record is present assert_not_nil Variation.find_by_concept_id (concepts(:entreprise).id) #find a client_variation first_variation = Variation.find_by_concept_id (concepts(:entreprise).id, :limit => 1) #make sure it is present assert_not_nil ClientVariation.find_by_variation_id (first_variation.id) #delete the record from the DB get :delete_concept, {:concept_id => concepts(:entreprise).id} #search for the record, if not there, raises an exception assert_raises(ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound) { Concept.find(concepts(:entreprise).id) } #search for the variation, if not there, raises an exception #this is the line that generate the faillure assert_raises(ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound) { Variation.find_by_concept_id(concepts(:entreprise).id) } #search for the client_variation, if not there, raises an exception end Any ideas? thanks a lot! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
