It does not make them faster, because you're loading lots of unnecessary records. Anyway, who cares who fast your tests are if they're wrong? You can't know that you're actually testing what you think you are, unless you start each test from a blank slate and create only a restricted set of records (generally no more than 10 if your tests are of the proper granularity). Preloading the DB is cheating at solitaire. > > Robert Pankowecki Best, -- Marnen Laibow-Koser http://www.marnen.org [email protected] Sent from my iPhone -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
