deadlock detected with capybara-webkit

Question

I\'m trying to pass this spec :

scenario \"Edit a service\", js: true do
  service = create_service_for(provider, title: \"First service\")
  fill_edit_service_f         


        

Answer 1

I was having different tests fail randomly (like 1 test out of 500, every other time I ran the suite).

This may not be the prettiest solution, but I solved the problem by just rescuing and retrying the database cleaner after 2 seconds, like so:

config.after(:each) do |example|
  begin
    DatabaseCleaner.clean
  rescue Exception => e
    # Recover from thread locks and retry the database clean after a slight delay
    sleep 2
    DatabaseCleaner.clean
  end
end
