This gem is a layer on top of factory_girl to allow you to create dependencies on your model easily
If your dependencies look like:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base; end
class Blog < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
alias_attribute :user_alias_id, :user_id
end
class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :blog
belongs_to :user, foreign_key: :author_id
end
Running FactoryWoman.create(:article)
will create a blog entry (and then a user that possesses this blog), and another user fot the author.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'factory_woman'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install factory_woman
Just require it in your rails_helper.rb
:
require 'factory_woman'
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec
to run the tests. You can also run bin/console
for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb
, and then run bundle exec rake release
, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem
file to rubygems.org.
