Stack level too deep in development environment

[scho]

Hi folks,

I wanted to use database_cleaner in development environment in order to clear out all my seed data (I can't use rake db:reset). But I get a strange stack level too deeperror:

1.9.3p327 :001 > require 'database_cleaner'
 => true 
1.9.3p327 :002 > DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :truncation
 => :truncation 
1.9.3p327 :003 > DatabaseCleaner.clean
SystemStackError: stack level too deep
    from /home/vagrant/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p327/lib/ruby/1.9.1/irb/workspace.rb:80
Maybe IRB bug!

The same happens in a rake task, but all works find in test environment!
I use Ubuntu Server 12.04. My version of database_cleaner is 0.9.1.

Any ideas, why this doesn't work?

cheers,
Georg

I don't have any ideas on why this is happening without looking at the stack trace. Try just using DatabaseCleaner.clean_with :truncation instead though.

I tried DatabaseCleaner.clean_with :truncation, but I got the same error.
The strange thing is, that the stacktrace I posted is all I get.

I'll try to investigate this better.

I'll close this. There is an issue with rails_sql_views, which is the following:
activewarehouse/rails_sql_views#11
database cleaner does it's job, until it calls connection.disable_referential_integrity in https://github.com/bmabey/database_cleaner/blob/master/lib/database_cleaner/active_record/truncation.rb#L244

Still strange, that this happens only in development environment.
