问题
I'm new to cucumber and I'm learning BDD
When I'm trying to fill a form and create a record this sqlite error is shown, though there's no error when I tried the code manually in my browser.
I'm using rails 4.
here is my controller code
class Admin::ItemsController < ApplicationController
def index
@items=Item.all
end
def new
@item=Item.new
end
def create
@item=Item.new items_params
respond_to do |format|
if @item.save
format.html { redirect_to admin_items_path }
else
format.html { redirect_to new_admin_items_path }
end
end
end
private
def items_params
params.require(:item).permit(:name,:price)
end
end
here is my Feature file
Feature: Manage Items
In order to make a store
As an admin
I want to create and manage items
Scenario: Items List
Given I go to the new admin item page
And I fill in "Name" with "Shampoo"
And I fill in "Price" with "50"
When I press "Create"
Then I should be on the admin items page
And I should see "Shampoo"
and step definitions
require File.expand_path(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "..", "support", "paths"))
Given /^I go to the (.+)$/ do |page_name|
visit path_to(page_name)
end
And /^I fill in "([^\"]*)" with "([^\"]*)"$/ do |field, value|
fill_in(field.gsub(' ', '_'), :with => value)
end
When /^I press "([^\"]*)"$/ do |button|
click_button(button)
end
Then /^I should be on the (.+)$/ do |page_name|
current_path.should == path_to(page_name)
end
And /^I should see "(.*?)"$/ do |arg1|
page.should have_content(arg1)
end
This error is shown in step 4, i.e when create button is clicked and when items#create is called.
I don't know what is wrong with the code, hoping someone could help.
UPDATE:
I guess the problem is with a deprecation in cucumber-rails https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-rails/issues/231

回答1:
It looks like you're using DatabaseCleaner, which by default runs each of your features in a transaction. Meanwhile, ActiveRecord itself starts a transaction when it saves the item. Unfortunately, SQLite doesn't support nested transactions.
If you change your DatabaseCleaner strategy to :truncation it should avoid this error. Alternatively, you could test against a more capable database like PostgreSQL.

This worked for me. Edit your Gemfile to pull from the last source on github, as Andy H suggested.
gem 'database_cleaner', github: 'bmabey/database_cleaner'
