Answer 1

Had similar problem after upgrading Rails from 4.2.2 to 4.2.5 I had to upgrade pg gem and problem start happening

9) WorkPolicy#is_publicly_viewable? is publicly visible hides work if deleted
     Failure/Error: before { DatabaseCleaner.clean_with :deletion }
     ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid:
       PG::InFailedSqlTransaction: ERROR:  current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block
       :             SELECT tablename
                   FROM pg_tables
                   WHERE schemaname = ANY (current_schemas(false))

Teddy Widom Answer is right in this sense, just to sum the problem:

Sometimes when you use DatabaseCleaner.clean_with :deletion you may be interfering PostgreSQL transaction.

So solution for me was to replace DatabaseCleaner.clean_with :deletion in parts of the tests where this was caused with DatabaseCleaner.clean_with :truncation

Just one more thing for googling people. If you are noticing this stack trace:

An error occurred in an `after(:context)` hook.
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: PG::UndefinedColumn: ERROR:  column "table_rows" does not exist
LINE 1: ...ion_schema.tables WHERE table_schema = 'test' AND table_rows...
^

...it may be caused by this problem
