squeal-hspec

Helpers for creating database tests with hspec and squeal, inspired by Jonathan Fischoff's hspec-pg-transact.

This uses @tmp-postgres@ to automatically and connect to a temporary instance of postgres on a random port.

Current version is done to operate with Squeal 0.4.0.0.

describeDB lets you initate a series of itDB specs which will operate in the same context. It takes migrations to run and a series of fixtures to fill the database.

Setting the env var TEST_DB_CONNECTION_STRING will let you use a non-temporary database if need be. Tear down will run the migrateDown to make sure the test db doesn't get filled with invalid data.
