Some minor conveniences for using factory_girl on a Rails project

factory_girl_on_rails

THIS PLUGIN IS DEPRECATED AS OF FEBURARY 15, 2009: factory_girl now automatically loads factories, and it's trivial to create factory definitions by hand, so there's no need for this plugin.

factory_girl_on_rails provides some minor creature comforts for using factory_girl on a Rails project:

  • Automatically load factories in RAILS_ROOT/test/factories
  • A generator for putting new factories in RAILS_ROOT/test/factories

Installing

script/plugin install git://github.com/technicalpickles/factory_girl_on_rails.git

Example

After installing this plugin, you just start using factories in RAILS_ROOT/test/factories.

As a convenience, a factory generator is provided:

./script/generate factory account

creates an Account factory: test/factories/account_factory.rb

./script/generate factory post title:string body:text published:boolean

creates a Post factory with a string title, text body, and published flag.
