I was thinking about this exact problem just this afternoon. I've been writing a few specs for a project that has these same speed issues. Single specs taking 2-3 seconds to run :) > Solution: > - Add 'smarts' to machinist* so that it auto-generates fixtures for common > objects and keeps them in the DB I like this idea. I think it's doable. A pool of fixture records, which specs can "check out" for use. If the pool dries up, machinist lazily creates more. Time for a hack night? :) —ben_h -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby or Rails Oceania" group.
