MemoryTestFix
A simple fix to run your Rails tests with sqlite. From the example at
blog.seagul.co.uk/articles/2006/02/08/in-memory-sqlite-database-for-rails-testing
Install the gem:
gem install memory_test_fix
In your config/environments.rb, use:
config.gem 'memory_test_fix'
In your database.yml, use:
test:
adapter: sqlite3
database: ":memory:"
It runs much faster!
You can also adjust the verbosity of the output:
test:
adapter: sqlite3
database: ":memory:"
verbosity: silent
You can also use this with other (testing) environments, not just ‘test’.
Rails Versions
Due to incompatibilities in the loading of gem plugins by Rails, this gem only works with Rails 3 starting from version 0.2.0. If you’re using an older version of Rails, use the 0.1.x version of this gem.
