Rake spec seems to not clean the database after failing specs

doug · December 29, 2009, 12:58am

running all specs with ‘rake spec’

working on a spec that gets run last.
when run individually, it is green.
but in ‘rake spec’ it fails because the database is dirty

I’m guessing this is caused by early specs that fail as well
???
is this normal?

if that’s the problem, what’s the best way to force the database to be
cleaned after each scenario?

I have database_cleaner (with cucumber), but just the default
configuration

thanks

Be careful what you wish for.

I normally want to set the database to a known state BEFORE running
specs rather than cleaning up afterwards.

Why? Because it’s easier to debug failures if you preserve the
evidence.
