factory_face_rails

factory_face is a fixtures replacement with a straightforward definition syntax, support for multiple build strategies (saved instances, unsaved instances, attribute hashes, and stubbed objects), and support for multiple factories for the same class (user, admin_user, and so on), including factory inheritance.

Rails

factory_face_rails provides Rails integration for factory_face.

Currently, automatic factory definition loading is the only Rails-specific feature.

Supported Rails versions are listed in Appraisals. Supported Ruby versions are listed in .travis.yml.

Download

Github: http://github.com/schwad/factory_face_rails

Gem:

$ gem install factory_face_rails

Configuration

Add factory_face_rails to your Gemfile:

group :development, :test do
  gem 'factory_face_rails'
end

Generators for factories will automatically substitute fixture (and maybe any other fixture_replacement you set). If you want to disable this feature, add the following to your application.rb file:

config.generators do |g|
  g.factory_face false
end

Default factories directory is test/factories, or spec/factories if test_framework generator is set to :rspec; change this behavior with:

config.generators do |g|
  g.factory_face dir: 'custom/dir/for/factories'
end

If you use factory_face for fixture replacement, ensure that factory_face_rails is available in the development group. If it's not, Rails will generate standard .yml files instead of factory files.

factory_face takes an option suffix: 'some_suffix' to generate factories as modelname_some_suffix.rb.

If you use factory_face for fixture replacement and already have a factories.rb file in the directory that contains your tests, factory_face_rails will insert new factory definitions at the top of factories.rb.

You may need to configure your test suite to include factory_face methods; see configuration.
