When I put a record in the test database in rails, for how long does it persist? <p>If, as part of an RSpec or Cucumber test in my Rails application, I create a model and store it in the test database, how long will the record remain there for?</p> <p>I'm pretty sure that the records are cleared at the end (or beginning?) of every test cycle, because they don't seem to interfere with successive runs of my test suite, but do records persist between different cucumber features and scenarios, or between different RSpec tests?</p>
