I'm following this tutorial to get started with TDD on rails with factory girl, rspec and i ran into this issue i can't get my head around.
Here's my "factory".rb (events.rb)
require 'faker'
FactoryGirl.define do
factory :event do
name "HIGH"
genre "house, techno, idb"
venue_name "Westbourne Studios"
venue_address "4-6 Chamberlayne Road"
venue_postcode "NW103JD"
begin_time "10pm"
end_time "2am"
user_id 2
description "A Super massive party with loads of everything you would want around."
status true
venue_id nil
end
end
and here's the event_spec.rb:
require 'spec_helper'
require 'factory_girl_rails'
describe Event do
it "has a valid factory" do
Factory.create(:event).should be_valid
end
it "is invalid without a name"
it "is invalid without a genre"
it "is invalid without a venue_name"
it "is invalid without a venue_address"
it "is invalid without a venue_postcode"
...
end
I have setup the model, migrated etc.. and when i run "rspec spec/models/event_spec.rb" i get the following error:
Failures:
1) Event has a valid factory
Failure/Error: Factory.create(:event).should be_valid
NameError:
uninitialized constant Factory
# ./spec/models/event_spec.rb:7:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

13 examples, 1 failure, 12 pending
Failed examples:
rspec ./spec/models/event_spec.rb:6 # Event has a valid factory
Randomized with seed 64582
Try to use it in this way:
FactoryGirl.create(:event).should be_valid
I think, I can remember, that it was only "Factory" in old versions of the gem. If you take a look in the recent "Getting started" guide of Factory Girl, there are only calls with "FactoryGirl".
