Skip callbacks on Factory Girl and Rspec

Question

I\'m testing a model with an after create callback that I\'d like to run only on some occasions while testing. How can I skip/run callbacks from a factory?

Answer 1

When you don't want to run a callback do the following:

User.skip_callback(:create, :after, :run_something)
Factory.create(:user)

Be aware that skip_callback will be persistant across other specs after it is run therefore consider something like the following:

before do
  User.skip_callback(:create, :after, :run_something)
end

after do
  User.set_callback(:create, :after, :run_something)
end
