factory_girl_rspec

Integrate FactoryBot fixture initialization into the RSpec DSL.

Features

• clean and concise DSL for instantiating FactoryBot fixtures
• easily configure factory variations with FactoryBot traits or optional parameter hash
• includes FactoryBot DSL into main Rspec context to DRY up creation

Usage

Basic usage:

# spec/models/user_spec.rb
describe User do
  context 'basic user' do
    # instantiate FactoryBot :user fixture
    with :user
    it { user.should be_inactive }
    it { user.should_not be_happy }
  end
end

Advanced usage:

# spec/models/user_spec.rb
describe User do
  context 'when user.first_name == nil' do
    # instantiate FactoryBot :user fixture with custom options
    with :user, :first_name => nil
    it { user.should be_inactive }
    it { user.should_not be_happy }
  end

  context 'when user is inactive' do
    # instantiate FactoryBot :user fixture with custom traits
    with :user, :when_inactive
    it { user_when_inactive.should be_inactive }
  end
end
