Leave your test database read-write, and load it up with the test/fixtures system. Then, in setup(), use Mocha to mock your .save methods (and .update, and whatever internal methods they all call), and raise a fault if anyone calls them. Always think of mocks as a way to "change reality" - to make random dice crooked, or to change the clock time. Alternately... Switch the DB to "read-only" in setup() and turn that off in "tear-down". Either way, experiment by trying to .save from a scratch test, to ensure the system correctly blows up in your face. The point is to make sure at production time it does not! -- Phlip --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
