    <p>I had the same problem as Nick Rutten in this thread <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13606603/rails-tutorial-rspec-test-decoupling">Rails Tutorial: RSpec test decoupling</a>. I suspected the problem was the <code>FactoryGirl.create()</code> saving to the database, and thanks to @prusswan I fixed it. However I do not understand why these <code>puts</code> don't indicate different <code>User.count</code>.</p> <p>This is the snippet I'm interested in:</p> <pre><code>describe "with valid information" do puts "Number of users pre-Factory:" + User.count.to_s let(:user){FactoryGirl.create(:user)} puts "Number of users post-Factory:" + User.count.to_s (...) end </code></pre> <p>I get:</p> <p><code>Number of users pre-Factory:0</code><br> <code>Number of users post-Factory:0</code></p> <p>But shouldn't I get instead?: </p> <p><code>Number of users pre-Factory:0</code><br> <code>Number of users post-Factory:1</code></p> <p>Btw, the factory is defined (although not so relevant now) as:</p> <pre><code>FactoryGirl.define do factory :user do name "Example User" email "user@example.com" password "foobar" password_confirmation "foobar" end end </code></pre> <p>I'm stuck trying to understand why the counter is not increasing, wasn't the problem that it did increase to start with? thank you</p> <p><strong>Edit using @derekyau's suggestions:</strong></p> <p>Right now I've got in this order:</p> <pre><code>it "print counter before let" puts "Number of users:" + User.count.to_s end let(:user){FactoryGirl.create(:user)} it "print counter after let" puts "Number of users:" + User.count.to_s end </code></pre> <p>However now I get both values 1:</p> <pre><code>Number of users:1 Number of users:1 </code></pre> <p>Close but not there yet!</p> <p><strong>Edit 2</strong></p> <p>As explained by @Peter Alfvin here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18037920/within-a-given-rspec-describe-block-does-the-order-of-let-before-and-it-statem">Within a given RSpec describe block, does the order of let, before and it statements matter?</a> . The order of <code>let</code>, <code>before</code>, <code>it</code> is pretty much established, regardless of the code. That, together with @derekyau's explanation closes the question.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
