rspec users - Feb 2008 - Unwanted fixture data messing up my other tests

I have a fixture for one of my tables that i use in some model tests.  The
data in it is messing up some other tests for a different model, that
doesn''t ask for the fixture - isn''t the fixture data supposed
to be cleared
out of the test db in between tests, and only be present if specifically
asked for?  or am i using them wrong?

thanks
max

It depends on settings you have in spec_helper.rb. You should have this:

  config.use_transactional_fixtures = true

You should also not be declaring any fixtures in spec_helper.rb, given
your situation.

Hi David

I have that option set already, and i''m not using any fixtures in
spec_helper.  My spec helper looks like this:  is it the
use_instantiated_fixtures option perhaps?  (i don''t know what that
does).

thanks, max
