Where are the factory records?

Question

I am trying to perform an integration test through Watir and RSpec . So, I created a test file inside / integration and wrote a test that adds a test user to the database through factory_girl .

The problem is that I cannot login with my test user. The test I wrote is as follows:

...

before(:each)
  @user = Factory(:user)
  @browser = FireWatir::Firefox.new
end

it "should login"
  @browser.text_field(:id, "username").set(@user.username)
  @browser.text_field(:id, "password").set(@user.password)
  @browser.button(:id, "get_in").click
end

...

When I run a test and see "performance" in the browser, it always launches an error Username is not valid.

I started an investigation and did a little trick. First of all, I had doubts if the factory actually creates the user in the database. So after an immediate factory call, I added stuff puts User.findjust to find that the user . , , , .

Factory Girl is going to create temporary database records in a test database. Your test database will be cleared after each test.
