ruby on rails - Tell Rspec - don't delete my test

i populate database want run rspec tests against.

rspec seems delete db before starts tests. how can tell rspec not delete test_db?

i populate db outside of rails / rspec environment. build factories needed build db not practical scope of project test against existing db.

you can manage clean database using database cleaner gem, , documentation recommends following configuration rspec link, change following:

rspec.configure |config|    config.before(:suite)     databasecleaner.strategy = :transaction     databasecleaner.clean_with(:truncation)   end end

but, prefer create database in test environment before scenario, example:

describe "specific name scenario"   before     @object = create(:object) # using factory girl example   end end

so, data'll generate each time run test-case, read more creating data rspec-test.
