Being able to get to the db when in selenium mode.
Reported by Amos King | January 7th, 2009 @ 11:09 PM
As a develper running webrat in selenium mode I would like to be able to access the database for assertions
Right now this isn't possible:
require 'test_helper'
class PeopleIntegrationTest < ActionController::IntegrationTest
context "context no records" do
setup do
Person.create!(:name => 'Mike Gaffney')
visit(people_path)
click_link("Create New")
fill_in('Name', :with => "Amos King")
click_button('Create')
sleep 10
end
should 'respond with success' do
assert_equal '200', response.code
end
end
end
The Person Mike Gaffney doesn't exist.

Amos -- You're saying the Person.create! won't work?
When using Selenium, you've got to disable "transactional fixtures" (even if you're not using Rails fixtures).

create! works within one transaction, but when running in selenium mode there are two transactions. One is within the app server-db connection. The other is within the Test::Unit-db connection. This means that the create doesn't end up going across to the other connection.
This ticket is to find a way to either get a single connection to the database, and therefore one transaction or to automatically role back any objects created in the test.
I think this is a change that is far in the future, and needs a lot of research, and possibly a lot of code.

- Tag set to “featurerequest”
- State changed from “new” to “wontfix”
This is fixed if you use http://github.com/gaffo/mainline...
Which puts the integration test and the selenium server in the same database connection.
