rspec users - Feb 2008 - disabling transactional fixtures for one spec

Sometimes I need a spec that tests something which can''t work inside a
transaction. Is it possible to disable transactional fixtures for one
spec?

I tried:

describe "MyClass without transactional fixtures" do
  before(:all) do
    Spec::Runner.configure { |config|
config.use_transactional_fixtures = false }
  end

  after(:all) do
    Spec::Runner.configure { |config|
config.use_transactional_fixtures = true }
  end
end

... but that doesn''t work.

Thanks,
Paul

Try this - don''t know if it works but I think it might:

describe "MyClass without transactional fixtures" do
  self.use_transactional_fixtures = true
  ...
end

Let us know if it works.
