Factory Girl Upgrader

Uses ruby_parser and ruby_scribe to dynamically convert factory_girl factories in the V1 DSL into the V2 DSL.

In-Progress

NOTE: This gem is not essentially unusable and is being continually worked on - more of a proof of concept for now.

Command-Line Usage

The gem comes with a thor task that you can use to print out a converted version of any Ruby file containing factory_girl V1 code:

$ factory_girl_upgrader cat test_project.rb

API Usage

This is built on the tree-walking base class RubyTransform::Transformer from the ruby_transform project. The principal transform, which is a composite of other more granular transforms, is RSpecify::Transformer. Here’s how it can be used in conjunction with ruby_parser:

sexp = RubyParser.new.parse(File.read(path))
sexp = FactoryGirl::Upgrader::Transformer.new.transform(sexp)

emitter = RubyScribe::Emitter.new
emitter.methods_without_parenthesis += ["factory"]
emitter.emit(sexp)

Supported factory_girl V1 features:

• Simple attribute setting

• Sequences with a block

• Associations (without options)

NOTE: Indeed, this is only the basics. This will be expanded in the future to be a more comprehensive set of transformations.

Limitations

To make this more DSL-friendly without parentheses requires expansion of the emitter configuration on ruby_scribe (we need to be able to give ruby_scribe AST node hints on parentheses and block style).

Example:

Original (factory_girl V1):

Factory.define(:product) do |f|
  f.association :category
  f.sequence(:name) {|n| "Product #{n}" }
  f.price 19.95
end

Transformed (factory_girl V2):

FactoryGirl.define do 
  factory :product do
    category
    price(19.95)
    sequence(:name) do |n| 
      "Product #{n}"
    end
  end
end
