When a Rails server saves an object, this is not visible in my concurrent integration test

rubyonrails-talk

Note: I’m on Rails version 2.3.8

Hello,

I’m running integration tests on my controllers with a Watir-controller Firefox. So two processes are running at the same time:

Process 1: Mongrel server in test environment (script/server -e test)

Process 2: ActionController::IntegrationTest running (also in Test environment, obviously)

A Product can be bought by a customer (Account) through a Subscription object.

This is what happens:

  1. IntegrationTest creates a new Product by saying Factory.create :product

  2. The browser is redirected to the Product’s page and buys the product.

  3. After going through the payment gateway, a Subscription object is created by Process 1

  4. However, Process 2 DOES NOT SEE that this object was created

  5. The integration test fails

Going through this process manually in development mode does everything well, but I must automate this process. Any thoughts?

Does your integration test just sit there checking every so often? Can you see the subscription in the database if you check by hand ?
