Some of my ror test cases are passing individually when run using the ruby command. But when I run on rake, they fail. This is happening specifically on db2. I need some help on the same.

Okay, I found the answer after some digging.
The problem was that I was trying to assert the results of a find on a model object.
Now internally, this find translates into a select query on the database.
Unfortunately, oracle/db2 do not guarantee the order of the select fetch.
In many test cases, I was asserting the first/second/third etc element of the array returned by the find statement. The problem here is, the index of zero of the array might contain a different value as the select might return in a different order.
So either, use a order by clause or sort the resultant array and then assert.
I still have some failures on db2, but then, the number has drastically come down.
Cheers!
