How to create has_and_belongs_to_many associations in Factory girl

Question

Given the following

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_and_belongs_to_many :companies
end

class Company < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_and_belongs_to_m         


        

Answer 1

In my opinion, Just create two different factories like:

 Factory.define :user, :class => User do |u|
  # Just normal attributes initialization
 end

 Factory.define :company, :class => Company do |u|
  # Just normal attributes initialization
 end

When you write the test-cases for user then just write like this

 Factory(:user, :companies => [Factory(:company)])

Hope it will work.
