i am using bundle exec rake cucumber
to run my feature files but i need to customize it so that even after the cucumber tests are completed,my test database should persist because i would be dumping my remote production data into my local test database.
i also remove database-cleaner as by-default it cleans the test database..i tried to look into cucumber.rake
and figured out these lines where it runs test:prepare
namespace :cucumber do
Cucumber::Rake::Task.new({:ok => 'test:prepare'}, 'Run features that should pass') do |t|
t.binary = vendored_cucumber_bin # If nil, the gem's binary is used.
t.fork = true # You may get faster startup if you set this to false
t.profile = 'default'
t.rcov = true
end
i want to disable deleting of my test database after my cucumber/rspec tests completes.is there any way because i tried searching but didnt got a good source.moreover i will be dumping data in test database..so the solution should work irrespective of the data in test database.
my gemfile
group :development, :test do
gem 'capybara'
gem 'annotate'
gem "factory_girl_rails", "~> 1.1.rc1"
gem "factory_girl_generator", ">= 0.0.3"
gem "rspec-rails", ">= 2.6.0"
gem 'rr'
gem 'ruby-debug'
gem 'haml-rails'
gem 'rcov'
##removed database cleaner as i want to persist test data always
##gem 'database_cleaner'
gem 'pry-rails'
##cucumber,mysql added for test database ONLY
gem 'cucumber-rails', :require => false
gem 'mysql'
end
cucumber.rake
