Model specs and ActiveRecord::TestCase

Testing RSpec
1

Is there any reason why the ModelExampleGroup in rspec-rails inherits
from ActiveSupport::TestCase and not ActiveRecord::TestCase? I noticed
this because I tried to use assert_queries in one of my specs and
obviously it told me it didn’t know what that was. Not a huge problem, I
can always add assert_queries (or an equivalent) manually, I was just
curious.

Pure oversight. Wanna submit a patch?

Actually it seems someone read my mind… just tried out the patch in
#896 and it seems to work great. So, problem solved :wink:
