Pattern: Missing use of shorthand from FactoryBot::Syntax::Methods

Issue: -

Description

Use shorthands from FactoryBot::Syntax::Methods in your specs.

Safety

The auto-correction is marked as unsafe because the cop cannot verify whether you already include FactoryBot::Syntax::Methods in your test suite.

If you're using Rails, add the following configuration to spec/support/factory_bot.rb and be sure to require that file in rails_helper.rb:

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include FactoryBot::Syntax::Methods
end

If you're not using Rails:

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include FactoryBot::Syntax::Methods

  config.before(:suite) do
    FactoryBot.find_definitions
  end
end

Examples

# bad
FactoryBot.create(:bar)
FactoryBot.build(:bar)
FactoryBot.attributes_for(:bar)

# good
create(:bar)
build(:bar)
attributes_for(:bar)
