Example of how to disable foreign keys for a particular context
RSpec.shared_context "without foreign key constraints", :disable_foreign_keys do
def without_foreign_key_checks
DB.run('SET foreign_key_checks = 0;')
yield
ensure
DB.run('SET foreign_key_checks = 1;')
end
around(:example) { |ex| without_foreign_key_checks(&ex) }
end
# usage:
# RSpec.describe "Something", :disable_foreign_keys do
# # ...
# end
