Installation
Gemfile

$ bundle install
Defining a Factory
spec/factories/
spec/factories/users.rb
spec/factories/posts.rb
spec/factories/comments.rb
spec/factories/products.rb
spec/factories/users.rb
FactoryGirl.define do factory :user do name ‘Joe Blow’ email ‘
[email protected]
’
password ‘p@ssw0rd’ admin false end end spec/factories/users.rb
spec/models/user_spec.rb
describe User do end spec/models/user_spec.rb
describe User do subject { FactoryGirl.create(:user) } end spec/models/user_spec.rb
describe User do subject { FactoryGirl.create(:user) } its(:name) { should
== ‘Joe Blow’ } end spec/models/user_spec.rb
describe User do subject { FactoryGirl.create(:user) } its(:name) { should
== ‘Joe Blow’ } its(:email) { should == ‘
[email protected]
’ } end spec/models/user_spec.rb
describe User do subject { FactoryGirl.create(:user) } its(:name) { should
== ‘Joe Blow’ } its(:email) { should == ‘
[email protected]
’ } it { should_not be_admin } end spec/models/user_spec.rb
FactoryGirl.create(:user)
FactoryGirl.build(:user)
FactoryGirl.build_stubbed(:user)
spec/spec_helper.rb
RSpec.configure do |config| config.include FactoryGirl::Syntax::Methods end spec/spec_helper.rb
FactoryGirl.create(:user)
create(:user)
build(:user)
build_stubbed(:user)
spec/models/user_spec.rb describe User do subject { create(:user) } its(:name) {
should == ‘Joe Blow’ } its(:email) { should == ‘
[email protected]
’ } it { should_not be_admin } end
Overriding Attributes
spec/models/user_spec.rb context ‘a duplicate email address’ do it { should_not
be_valid } end
context ‘a duplicate email address’ do let(:user) { create(:user) }
subject { User.new(name: ‘Joe Duplicate’, email: user.email, password: ‘test123’) } it { should_not be_valid } end spec/models/user_spec.rb
context ‘a duplicate email address’ do let(:user) { create(:user) }
subject { build(:user, email: user.email) } it { should_not be_valid } end spec/models/user_spec.rb
Lazy Attributes
spec/factories/posts.rb FactoryGirl.define do factory :post do title ‘Worst presentation EVER!’
content “Gabe’s presentations are long-winded. After the first 40 slides I passed out.” published_at { Time.now } end end
Sequences
FactoryGirl.define do sequence :email do |n| “person#{n}@example.com” end end spec/factories/sequences.rb
