rspec users - Dec 2010 - Global before blocks - filtering by multiple types

Hi

in the config block of rspec I have a before block to reset my
database before each spec:

config.before(:each) {DatabaseCleaner.clean}

I know I can apply this before to a specific type, e.g.

config.before(:each, :type => :model) {DatabaseCleaner.clean}

but what I want to achieve is that the database is cleaned for all
specs except acceptance specs. Is there a way to define this, e.g.
something like:

config.before(:each, :except => :acceptance) {DatabaseCleaner.clean}
or maybe
config.before(:each, :type => [:model, :view, :controller])
{DatabaseCleaner.clean}

Thanks
Andi

Not exactly, but there is another way:

config.before(:each) do
  DatabaseCleaner.clean unless example.metadata[:type] == :acceptance
end
