@SayYesToTest: if transactional fixtures are on, any changes to the database will be inside a transaction and invisible to the mongrel that is serving the pages.

I can’t seem to figure out why use_transactional_fixtures needs to be set to false.

Logging in 0.4.4 is great! If I knew it two hours ago…

It is worth mentioning for us, poor linux fellows who use Firefox 3 (location of binary may vary for other dists, mine is Gentoo):


Webrat.configure do |config|
  ...

  config.selenium_browser_key = '*firefox3 /opt/firefox/firefox-bin'
end

FYI for everyone following Bryan’s instructions… By turning transactional_fixtures off you will need to clean your database manually with cucumber’s After or Before hooks. (i.e truncate your DB.) I have a gem that makes this even easier. Just add this to your env.rb:

require 'database_cleaner'
require 'database_cleaner/cucumber'
DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :truncation

You can get the gem and learn more here.
