Curent Mood: Bored with Deleting the Production Database
I thought I was the only clown working on Rails projects and ignoring the warning in config/database.yml and using rake to wipe out perfectly good databases. But I’ve seen it happen to others now, and enough’s enough. So I created the
SafetyNet Plugin
.
You can install Safety Net in your app, by running
ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/apptrain/trunk/vendor/plugins/safety_net
That’s it. Now, If the test database points to the same database as development or production running rake will display the following message:
rake aborted!
The name of your test database matches production or development.
How it Works
Purging the poor innocent database is prevented in two ways.
- By adding a prerequisite check to the rake script that normaly performs this task.
- By modifying the fixtures method on ActiveRecord to avoid the same fate when running individual tests with the ruby command.
