Hi, I took a stab at this and created what I call Machinery. So far it works great for me.
For those that are looking for a way to create objects in the database in a before(:all) instead of a before(:each) to speed up tests, have a look at: http://github.com/lawrencepit/machinery Cheers, Lawrence > > When I execute database actions within a before(:each) they are rolled > > back after each example test has run. > > Nothing built in, and it's probably not something we'd support in > rspec-rails, which simply wraps the transaction handling provided by > rails, which rolls back after every test method (equivalent of an > rspec example). > > You're not the first to have asked for this, so having a solution for > it that would work with rails out of the box and with rspec would be > helpful to the community. But I think that would have to be in a > separate gem. _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
