Cannot change database_cleaner strategy between scenario

[phuong-nguyen]

I want to use transaction strategy for Rack Test and truncation strategy for Selenium test but cucumber rails make it impossible by adding a Before hook that call DatabaseCleaner.start. I want to change the strategy before DatabaseCleaner.start called, but cannot figure it out, since all hooks are appended. This make our test much slower.

Did you try to define your own hooks before the built-in ones are defined?

# env.rb

Before('@javascript') do
   DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :truncation
end

After('@javascript') do
   DatabaseCleaner.strategy = DatabaseCleaner.default_strategy
end

# This defines the default hooks
require 'cucumber/rails'
...

Thanks for the tip. It works. But since DatabaseCleaner.default_strategy doesn't exist (anymore?), I replaced it with :transaction.

I'm reopening this just so I remember to put better instructions in the generated files.
