Any ROR developers here? need your help. I am having trouble in identifying how to run controller test in sequence or with transaction lock..:thread:

I know i can assign created record to a variable and assert the result with variable, but I want to figure out if there is a way to run test in synchronous or in transactional mode ( records created by one test doesn't interfere with another )

Thanks <@U0178KLE5M3> let me dig into this

For the first test above, does `@response.body` return the newly created SellerCompany's ID? If it does, then using that id to get the object instead of `SellerCompany.last` might work

One straight forwards solution would be, instead of using `SellerCompany.last` , use `SellerCompany.find_by(name: '')`

<@UJW2W70CC> <@U013AEDRP42> that would work, but I was curious to know why it `SellerCompany.last` does not works and wether it is an issue with parallel controller test or fixtures. finally found out that sorting goes for a toss when using uuids as the primary keys

Update: Issue was due to usage of uuids as the primary key which breaks the implicit sorting; uuids are not sequential,
Fixed it by overriding, `self.implicit_order_column = :created_at`

<@UR7BQSU94> IMO, not a good idea to rely on timestamp unless that's part of the behaviour you're designing. I don't know which test framework is that but I have used transactional fixtures in rspec, until I was blocked by limitations of the transactional fixtures due to multiple dbs - so switched to databasecleaner.
