Cucumber/RSpec and seed data

[Will]

What is the best way to load seed data (from db/seeds.rb) prior to
feature tests and specs running?

Our system needs to have some default configuration settings (users,
roles, permissions, etc.) seeded before it can be brought up.
Currently this is all stored in the seeds.rb file.

I would like to write features where a user has a particular role and
permissions utilizing the seeded data.

Is there a best practice for this?

Thanks

All you need to do is require the seed.rb file. For example, you can add this one line to features/support/seed_data.rb:

require Rails.root.join('db','seeds')
