Even when
use_active_record = falseis set, rspec-rails still includedActiveRecord::TestFixturesand interceptedbeforeandafterhooks, attempting to access the databases associated with active record models. This caused issues in non-standard Rails projects where ActiveRecord is present but not using the Rails testing framework directly.This PR allows projects with ActiveRecord present to cleanly opt-out of fixture-based testing without database hook interference.
Changes
ActiveRecord::TestFixturesinclusion inside theuse_active_record?conditional checkActiveRecord.mdguide covering fixtures, transactions, and configuration options. MergedTransactions.mdto the new documentrails_helper.rbcomments to be aligned with updated documentation.
