So, i set this up in database.yml, and create a ci.rb file in config/environments that contains only a "require File.dirname(__FILE__)+ '/test.rb'" to load in the regular test environment. However, as the code in the required file isn't evaled in the same context as where the 'require' happens - it fails with "undefined local variable or method `config' for main:Object" on the line "config.cache_classes = true", the first line in the required 'test.rb'.
