Depending on database contents for testing is a brittle road to hoe. As I just finished saying, I like my test database to be clean and identical in schema to my development database. 'rake spec' does that. Without knowing your situation exactly, I would suggest either mocking out calls that you expect to deliver the prepopulated data, creating that data in your specs as needed, writing fixtures that load the data in, and/or examining whether that data is really necessary for testing. ///ark
