Thanks Marnen and Radhames for the help... got things working. Radhames, took your lead and tried the selenium driver instead of culerity.
I think there is some issue with culerity on Rails 3/1.9.2 (a broken pipe error occurs regularly) but w selenium things went smooth. You probably already know this but for completeness of this post, I actually found while looking at Scenario Backgrounds the cucumber hooks for running something before each scenario in the whole suite (below)... in this case the user roles always have to be there so it makes more sense to put this there than inside each feature. env.rb Before do Factory.create(:sysadmin_role) Factory.create(:practice_admin_role) Factory.create(:practice_user_role) end On Fri, Oct 8, 2010 at 7:26 AM, Marnen Laibow-Koser <[email protected]>wrote: > David Kahn wrote: > > On Thu, Oct 7, 2010 at 9:37 PM, Marnen Laibow-Koser > > <[email protected]>wrote: > > > > Nothing should ever be seeded in the DB in testing.
