fix: Ensure the DB is still "cleaned" even when transactions are not …
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
…used (#109)

In some tests, we might ensure that a transaction has been rolled back (e.g. if
an error occurred). Since currently we do not support transactions within other
transactions, those tests use the `omit_database_transaction` flag which means
the test does not get wrapped in a transaction. The problem is that these tests
now leave data lying around after running.

Our original plan to solve this was to find a way to still rollback in the app
despite already running in a transaction. However Sequel does not support naming
a transaction from what I can tell, and anyway there is no way to pass args to
the transaction via the `DatabaseCleaner` gem. Going through some issues I found
this issue:
  DatabaseCleaner/database_cleaner#652

Basically this person wants to read data from the DB in another app, but in only
some tests. He took the approach of switching "strategy" to accomplish it. I am
basically stealing the same idea since it seems to work and was quite trivial.
The big downside is that those tests will probably take longer to run, luckily
only 5 tests use this flag currently in echo, so this should not be too big of a
problem.
