A question for edumacational purposes here: Instead of disabling transactions,
would it be effective to include all the steps of inserting the record and
running the search, inside one scenario?
Given [the record is added to the database"
When [I search for it]
Then [I should find it]
If this can't work, then something is confusing me. I haven't gotten into
integration testing yet, but I would like to be armed with some level of
understanding going in.

Your intuition is correct. It should work assuming that all of the DB
calls happen in the same transaction and therefor the same process.
However, the problem that I think Bart is facing is that while all of
this is taking place in the same scenario it is not all taking place in
the same process. If you notice he is piping a call out to a rake task:
%x[rake RAILS_ENV=test xapian:update_index]
That rake task is not going to be able to see the items that the Given has
created because those INSERTs are being wrapped into a transaction that will be
rolled back at the end of the scenario. For this reason the use of
transactions need to be avoided so the separate processes are operating on the
same data within the DB. I wrote about this on the wiki in the troubleshooting
page in the context of selenium- the root problem is the same in both cases.
HTH,

Hey list,
Anyone have experience with acts_as_xapian and Cucumber? I'm struggling with
updating xapian's index, to actually "find" fluff that has been indexed..
In a scenario, I'm adding a bunch of articles, and in the actual search step,
I run:
When "I search for \"$query\"" do |query|
%x[rake RAILS_ENV=test xapian:update_index]
fill_in "Search", :with => query
click_button 'Search'
end
At this point in the scenario, I can see there are articles in the database.
But if I try to query the articles using xapian after the update_index rake task
has run, I don't see any results.
Could this have to do with transactional fixtures or something? Really stuck
here, because I obviously don't want to stub these searches, and I do want to
test them.
Yeah, I would say this is due to the transactions. Try disabling the
transactions and cleaning up the DB yourself (i.e. truncating all the tables) in
the Before hooks.
