FactoryGirl screws up rake db:migrate process

Question

I am doing TDD/BDD in Ruby on Rails 3 with Rspec (2.11.0) and FactoryGirl (4.0.0). I have a factory for a Category model:

FactoryGirl.define \"Category\" do         


        

Answer 1

I think you need to have factory girl definition like that in Gemfile:

  gem 'factory_girl_rails', :require => false

And then you just require it in your spec_helper.rb like that:

  require 'factory_girl_rails'

This is the way I'm always using this gem. You don't need to require it in other places than spec_helper.rb. Your current desired approach is just wrong.
