Example repo to demonstrate database_cleaner issue 564

Original issue comment

I tried with sqlite to ease up the project setup, and I recreated the bug as well. So it is not tied to mysql specifically

Setup:

• bundle install
• bundle exec rails db:create db:migrate
• bundle exec rake db:test:prepare
• bundle exec rspec

I put the failing test in "pending" state, so the command rspec is not failing.

RSpec.describe 'DatabaseCleaner issue 564' do
  include_context 'a_user_exist'

  # below test failing
  # switch me from "pending" to "it" when I pass :)
  pending 'user should not get cleaned' do
    expect(User.count).to_not eq 0
  end
end

We can see that the expected value is !=0, yet we got 0 in the test, as if the record was deleted

Pending: (Failures listed here are expected and do not affect your suite's status)

  1) DatabaseCleaner issue 564 user should not get cleaned
     # No reason given
     Failure/Error: expect(User.count).to_not eq 0

       expected: value != 0
            got: 0

       (compared using ==)
     # ./spec/models/database_cleaner_spec.rb:9:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

Finished in 0.05944 seconds (files took 7.39 seconds to load)
1 example, 0 failures, 1 pending

We can uncomment this code to make the test pass (so rspec will fail because it expects a pending test to fail)

config.before(:suite) do
     DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :transaction
     DatabaseCleaner.clean_with(:truncation)
end
