Question

I have scenario like this

Given /^initial data$/ do |table|
  @schedule_05 = Factory.build :schedule_05
  @schedule_05.save
  puts "count of rows #{@schedule_05.cycles.count}" - # is 7
end
#....... there are same steps and where filling text fields and so on/

When /^i click a submit button "([^"]*)" in form$/ do |runs|
  click_button(runs) # this is ajax request
end

Then /^count of SchOfWorkInformation is 365$/ do 
  puts "count of rows #{ScheduleOfWorking.count}" # is - 1
  s_c = ScheduleOfWorking.find_by_schedule_code("05") # is too 1
  puts "05 schedule is presents #{s_c.blank?}" # false
  unless s_c.blank?
    puts "05 schedule is presents #{s_c.date_of_countings.blank?}" #false
  end
end

In step when i click submit involves a controller ScheduleOfWorkingController’s filling action

def filling
unless request.xhr?
  @classifier_schedule = ScheduleOfWorking.classifiers_numbers
  @schedule_number = ScheduleOfWorking.classifiers_numbers false
else
  if params[:date_begin].blank? || params[:date_end].blank?
    render :js => "alert('date fields is empty !')"
    return
  end
  ScheduleOfWorking.fill_information_for(params[:date_begin].to_date,params[:date_end].to_date)
end

end

ScheduleOfWorking#fill_information_for

def self.fill_information_for(date_begin, date_end)
  sch = all
  sch.each do |e_sch|
    e_sch.date_of_countings.each do |d_counting|
      h_calculate = d_counting.roll_cycle(date_begin, date_end)
      transaction do
        SchOfWorkInformation.delete_all("(date >= '#{date_begin}' and date <= '#{date_end}') and schedule_code = #{d_counting.sch_code}")

        SchOfWorkInformation.create! h_calculate 
      end
    end
  end
end

In SchOfWorkInformation i have custom validation method like this

def customer_validate
s = SchOfWorkInformation.where(:date => self.date, :schedule_code => self.schedule_code).first

if !s.blank? && (new_record? || s.id != self.id)
  self.errors[:base] = "Запись не уникально!(date=#{self.date.to_s(:db)}, schedule_code=#{self.schedule_code})"
end

sch_number = schedule_code[0..1].blank? ? "0" : schedule_code[0..1]
session_number = schedule_code[2].blank? ? "0" : schedule_code[2]
logger.info "---------------------------------------"
ss_a = ScheduleOfWorking.all

s = ScheduleOfWorking.where("schedule_code='#{sch_number}'").
                      joins(:date_of_countings).
                      where("date_countings.session_number=#{session_number}")
  # In Given section of my step i load the data, but s.balnk? gives true
  if s.blank?
    self.errors[:base] = "Schedule - #{sch_number} with session number #{session_number}), is not exists in DB"
  end
end

Why my data lose in validation method? Help, please!

In development env. all rights, but in test not.

..sorry for long letter..

What database strategy are you using for these tests? If it’s running in a transaction, the data is never actually persisted to the database. You should be using some other method for these steps since the data is guaranteed to be persisted regardless of how many threads or processes are running. When you make an ajax request, it’s in a separate request to the server and the database transaction is only available to that request.

In my application, I have a setting for the javascript tests that uses a shared connection:

Cucumber::Rails::Database.javascript_strategy = :shared_connection
