FactoryGroup

By CodeBrahma.

FactoryGroup provides an abstraction on top of factory_girl, which will help you create reusable groups of factories which can be used across test cases.

For now we support only rails applications.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'factory_group', :group => :test

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install factory_group

Usage

Define a factory group

# spec/factory_groups/user_group.rb
FactoryGroup.define :user_group do
  user FactoryGirl.create(:user, :name => "Rajinikant")
end

Next require the factory_groups folder from the spec_helper

# spec/spec_helper.rb
Dir["spec/factory_groups/**/*.rb"].each { |f| require File.expand_path(f) }

Now from your spec call FactoryGroup.create(:user_group)

# spec/user_spec.rb
describe User do
  let(:user_group) { FactoryGroup.create(:user_group) }

  context "#name" do
    it "returns Rajinikant" do
      (user_group.user.name).to eq "Rajinikant"
    end
  end
end
