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?

Regarding the answer posted above, https://stackoverflow.com/a/35562805/2001785, you do not need to add the code to the factory. I found it easier to overload the methods in the specs themselves. For example, instead of (in conjunction with the factory code in the cited post)

let(:user) { FactoryGirl.create(:user) }

I like using (without the cited factory code)

let(:user) do
  FactoryGirl.build(:user).tap do |u|
      u.define_singleton_method(:send_welcome_email){}
      u.save!
    end
  end
end

This way you do not need to look at both the factory and the test files to understand the behavior of the test.
