Thanks for the reply Auvi.
I have been tailing the test log. It is showing me that the records I am watching are getting update on the test db as expected. But when I do a subsequent AR find query to pull them out and run assertions on them they do not match what the test log was showing. That's why I am trying to get a peek at the db itself. Is it poor form/problematic to run AR find queries in functional tests?
