Rails Rspec - ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: PG::InFailedSqlTransaction:

Question

I have this controller method

def dashboard
 method1
 method2
 method3
 ..
end

Everything is working fine in development environment.. but in test environment, i am getting this error after first few methods.

I checked using binding.pry just above the line which i used to get error,

I cannot run any query eg: Account.first but same Account.first works in dev environment

Error when i run in test environment:

ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: PG::InFailedSqlTransaction: ERROR:  current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block
: SELECT  "accounts".* FROM "accounts"  ORDER BY "accounts"."id" ASC LIMIT 1
from /home/qwinix/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/activerecord-4.2.4/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/postgresql_adapter.rb:596:in `async_exec'

Please note the following

• No erros found in other controllers and respective spec.
• There was no error in the same controller from other branch
• I added few code to method1 , which executes just fine in both environment. i am getting these error after method3 which i havent touched.

PS: I did google and search stackoverflow questions, didnt help

Edit: When i moved the method1 to end, i am not getting any errors, please explain me this behaviour.

Did you try to reset the Test Database?

bundle exec rails db:drop RAILS_ENV=test
bundle exec rails db:create RAILS_ENV=test
bundle exec rails db:schema:load RAILS_ENV=test

or for Rails Version older than 5

bundle exec rake db:drop RAILS_ENV=test
bundle exec rake db:create RAILS_ENV=test
bundle exec rake db:schema:load RAILS_ENV=test

or shorter:

bundle exec rake db:reset RAILS_ENV=test
