Rspec: How to suppress warnings and notices when running tests?

Question

I was using Mysql database before and decided to switch to Postgresql and now, when I run my tests using rspec, I getting a lot of warnings and notices.

WARNING:  there is already a transaction in progress
NOTICE:  there is no transaction in progress
      should has link "Suspender"
WARNING:  there is already a transaction in progress
NOTICE:  there is no transaction in progress
      should has css "title" with text "Suspensão de anúncio"
WARNING:  there is already a transaction in progress
NOTICE:  there is no transaction in progress
      should has css "h1" with text "Awesome job!"

How can I suppress that? Is there a way, right?

Answer 1

Did you set: config.use_transactional_examples = true to false and see if that breaks anything?

Answer 2

I had config.use_transactional_fixtures = true set. This was default (spec_helper generated with rails g rspec:install). I am using FactoryGirl instead of fixtures, getting rid of this setting removed warnings.

Answer 3

Disabling transactions

If you prefer to manage the data yourself, or using another tool like database_cleaner to do it for you, simply tell RSpec to tell Rails not to manage transactions:

RSpec.configure do |config| config.use_transactional_fixtures = false end
