Ok, so I tried in test unit. What I found was mixed.
For example, the following line returned [] consistently in test::unit
without crashing while in rspec I got a crash and 'INTERNAL ERROR!!! missing
attribute: account_subcode_id' (this line has a flaw in association, which
makes sense to me but not why it kills me in rspec but test unit takes it in
stride... weird):
TuRawBillDetail.includes(:account_subcode).select("DISTINCT
account_product_id")
Yet, this line (with a bad column) causes both rspec and test unit to crash
right away:
TuRawBillDetail.includes(:account_subcodes).select("DISTINCT
accounproduct_id")
