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

You shouldn't need to do any of that.. I think the issue is that your argument to FactoryGirl.define..

try this.

FactoryGirl.define do
   factory :category do
       name "Foo"
   end
end

That should work fine, and does not screw up my migrations or load.. Today, I had to fix an issue where I was referencing a model constant from my factory directly and had to put it in a block to fix things.

FactoryGirl.define do
   factory :category do
       # this causes unknown table isseus
       # state Category::Active
       # this does not.
       state { Category::Active }
   end
end
