Sequences not returning unique value

[laclance]

My model tests used to pass, I have not changed them and now they fail with "name already exists".
I have looked at and tried many solutions but have not found one that works. Also tried using instance variables in my test and moving instantiation to different blocks, before, it, describe and context.

FactoryGirl.define do
  factory :activity do
    sequence(:name) { |n| "name_#{n}" }
  end
end

RSpec.describe Activity do
  let(:activity) { FactoryGirl.create :activity }

  it "has a valid factory" do
    expect(activity).to be_valid
  end
end

rspec-rails > 3.5
factory_girl_rails > 4.8
ruby > 2.3.3
rails > 4.2.0

Same error here.. any solution?

Are you using transactional fixtures or database cleaner to wipe your specs in between runs? The sequences start over each time you run the tests, so if data persists between runs, you'll get duplicates.
