So, maybe I need to go to the rails list with this, but I hit my error while testing so I figured I'd ask here first.
Basically, Rails.cache.fetch is being persisted by default in my rails project between rspec runs. I've illustrated what I'm observing here: https://github.com/softwaregravy/rspec-troubleshoot/commit/c63b4b09fa6e70c2312e0aa2f7ba0ce078322ccc Furthermore, if you run that once, and then take out the test that doesn't raise the error, its still in the cache. So, to get at the 'issue' I'm describing specifically. If you first run 'rspec spec/controllers/application_controller_spec.rb' with the following: https://github.com/softwaregravy/rspec-troubleshoot/blob/0e22ce887cde602e49dc9bf7fa25406882b038f0/spec/controllers/application_controller_spec.rb you seed the cache. And then run it again without the happy case: https://github.com/softwaregravy/rspec-troubleshoot/blob/1e36222e64bfd9c473be06fba0a5fa102d4bf0f6/spec/controllers/application_controller_spec.rb You continue to get the failing test because the results of that block are cached. Now, I'm not that familiar with Rails caching. But it appears that there might be an issue in which Rails is not respecting the perform_caching flag. If that's not the root cause, then it seems to be that rspec could be doing a Rails.cache.clear and/or overriding a memory cache to be used during tests.
