Ive been following this introductory to Rails testing and Ive run into an issue I cant seem to find the solution to. Im very familiar with Rails but this is my first foray into testing.
Anyhow, I have a very basic model test, not even fully implemented and when I try and run rspec spec/models/admin_spec.rb
. I get the following error in the Admin has a valid factory
line (full code below)
Admin has a valid factory
Failure/Error: Factory.create(:admin).should be_valid
NameError:
uninitialized constant Factory
# ./spec/models/admin_spec.rb:6:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
I assume FactoryGirl isnt being loaded for some reason but I was under the impression it should be automatically loaded. Below is the full code from my Gemfile, /spec/models/admin_spec.rb and /spec/factories/admins.rb
Thanks very much for your help

end
end
/spec/models/admin_spec.rb
require 'spec_helper'
describe Admin do
it "has a valid factory" do
Factory.create(:admin).should be_valid
end
it "is invalid without a name"
it "is invalid without an email"
end
It should be FactoryGirl.create
instead. Apparently Factory
was deprecated and now has been removed, look at the comments in the link you provided :)
