[Backgroundrb-devel] unit tests vs database state

[Phlip]

BackgrounDRb-ers:

I have this friend who claims that everything should have a unit test. We 
want to use BackgrounDRb in a test-first setting.

When I update a database, to get it ready for testing, the update happens 
inside the MySQL transaction of the test process. The worker then runs in 
another process and sees the database's original state.

Turning off the transactions, in test_helper.rb, doesn't fix this effect.

I discovered that effect on one project, and worked around it. Now I will 
try to write unit tests for another project, and I will report back here if 
the effect gets better, or worse. I'm just asking in advance, to see if 
anyone has discovered this problem, and how to fix it...
