Hi list, I''ve used DatabaseCleaner in the past, but only when using Cucumber and Selenium (or Steak + Celerity) since turning on transactional_fixtures would prevent the data being accessible from app-server that is also triggered for the tests. This works fine, and is a de-facto solution for this problem. I don''t see why I would want to use DatabaseCleaner with rspec though, since everything is in the same process, transactional_fixture...

I prefer to use rspec than test::unit for developing my apps. However I''ve found its mocking library to be pretty inflexible compared to Mocha. This isn''t really a surprise since rspec isn''t intended as a mocking framework, whereas Mocha is.

And the articles table has a foreign key to the headlines table. My schema structure is created by this script ---- drop table if exists changes; drop table if exists articles; drop table if exists headlines; create table
