[rspec-users] How to test/spec an ActiveRecord find that uses :include

[Pat Maddox]

You have to hit the db here to make sure that it works.  Can't isolate
all the time, especially when building database-centric apps ;)

As for testing it, the easiest way I know of to test the association
was included is to check #loaded? on the proxy.

h = Harbor.first
h.marinas.should be_loaded

That works right out of the box and is usually enough to make you
confident that the find was done with an include.  You can also hook
into AR.find/execute and count the number of queries and verify that
there's only one.
