If you preload your test database with all fixture data via the rake task: bin/rails db:fixtures:load
And set self.pre_loaded_fixtures to true: class ActiveSupport::TestCase self.pre_loaded_fixtures = true self.use_transactional_tests = true # the default fixtures :all end Would you expect the fixtures to be deleted and reinserted on every test run (caused by ActiveRecord::FixtureSet.create_fixtures <https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activerecord/lib/active_record/fixtures.rb#L564-L573> – the same code exercised by the rake task)? Given the documentation on Transactional Tests <http://api.rubyonrails.org/v5.1/classes/ActiveRecord/FixtureSet.html#class-ActiveRecord::FixtureSet-label-Transactional+Tests>, I'd imagine this to be unexpected behaviour but, regardless of options configured, fixture data is always reinstalled by the fixtures :all call. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
