I've got these 5 models: Guardian, Student, Relationship, RelationshipType and School. Between them, I've got these associations class Guardian < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :school has_many :relationships, :dependent => :destroy has_many :students, :through => :relationships end class Student < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :school has_many :relationships, :dependent => :destroy has_many :guardians, :through => :relationships end class Relationship < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :student belongs_to :guardian belongs_to :relationship_type end class School < ActiveRecord::Base has_many

I'm just wondering whether it's possible to create an attribute called "alias" using FactoryGirl, since alias is a reserved word in Ruby. FactoryGirl.define do factory :blah do name "dummy" alias "dummy" end end I've tried various combinations of escaping things but can't get anything useful to work. Ruby doesn't know whether you're trying to call a method called alias or alias one method as another, and defaults to the latter. You can disambiguate by doing self.alias "dummy" ie, by explicitly specifying the receiver. This is usually the way to go in other cases where it is ambiguous whether

I want to have the Seeds.rb file run a method in a file from the Rails.root.join('spec') directory which will fill the database with data generated by FactoryGirl. Lets call this file "helpers.rb" with the method "seed_data" Edit: require Rails.root.join('spec','helpers.rb') links the file. source This method I want to use in a before(:all) do seed_data end to seed the test database and rake db:seed for development/production databases with the same effect. Seeds.rb require Rails.root.join('spec','helpers.rb') require 'rubygems' #so it can load gems require 'factory_girl_rails' #so it can run

I have a FactoryGirl :product factory that uses fixture_file_upload to set image , which is a Paperclip attachment. image { fixture_file_upload "#{Rails.root}/spec/fixtures/images/product.png", 'image/png' } fixture_file_upload works fine, but every time a test creates a new Product using the factory, Paperclip creates a new file in publicproducts/<id>/original.png . This is the issue. . Filling a the folder publicproducts on each test run is not acceptable. The first workaround I can think of is the solution mentioned in https://github.com/carrierwaveuploader/carrierwave/wiki/How-to:-Cleanup

I'm trying to reuse a helper method in all my factories, however I cannot get it to work. Here's my setup: Helper module (in spec/support/test_helpers.rb) module Tests module Helpers # not guaranteed to be unique, useful for generating passwords def random_string(length = 20) chars = ['A'..'Z', 'a'..'z', '0'..'9'].map{|r|r.to_a}.flatten (0...length).map{ chars[rand(chars.size)] }.join end end end A factory (in spec/factories/users.rb) FactoryGirl.define do factory :user do sequence(:username) { |n| "username-#{n}" } password random_string password_confirmation { |u| u.password } end end If I

Similar to the problem described here: http://rpheath.com/posts/411-how-to-use-factory-girl-with-rspec in Short (shorten'd code): spec_helper: config.use_transactional_fixtures = true config.use_instantiated_fixtures = false factories.rb: Factory.define :state do f.name "NY" end in my spec before(:each) do @static_model = Factory(:state) # with validate uniqueness of state name end error: duplicate entry name "NY" etc. Question: Shouldn't rspec clear database before each spec example and hence not throwing duplicate entry errors? Things i think off: do you use rake spec to run your testsuite:

I have a Family class so defined: class Family < ActiveRecord::Base after_initialize :initialize_family belongs_to :user validates :user, :presence => true validates :name, :presence => true, :length => { :maximum => 30 }, :format => { :with => /\A[a-zA-Z0-9\-_\s\']+\z/i} def initialize_family if self.name.blank? && self.user self.name = "#{self.user.profile_full_name}'s Family" end end end In my factories.rb I have: Factory.define :family do |f| f.association :user, :factory => :user end In my family_spec.rb I have let(:family) { Factory(:family) } But this fails with: 1) Family is valid with
