How to set up factory in FactoryGirl with has_many association

Question

Can someone tell me if I\'m just going about the setup the wrong way?

I have the following models that have has_many.through associations:

class List         


        

Answer 1

Creating these kinds of associations requires using FactoryGirl's callbacks.

A perfect set of examples can be found here.

To bring it home to your example.

Factory.define :listing_with_features, :parent => :listing do |listing|
  listing.after_create { |l| Factory(:feature, :listing => l)  }
  #or some for loop to generate X features
end
