config.gem "factory_bot"

Then:

rake gems:install RAILS_ENV=test
rake gems:unpack RAILS_ENV=test

FactoryBot.definition_file_paths = %w{./factories ./test/factories ./spec/factories}
FactoryBot.find_definitions

Padrino Installation

    File.join(Padrino.root, 'factories'),

    File.join(Padrino.root, 'spec', 'factories')
]
FactoryBot.find_definitions
