Change factory_girl load path

[Rahul Sharma]

Hi Guys,

I am working on a rails project that has cucumber tests built in. I want to define cucumber factories that are separate to spec/factories. Some cucumber factories will have the same name as the spec/factories. So As soon as I define factories with the same name, it give mea FactoryGirl::DuplicateDefinitionError.

Anyway, I can tell FactoryGirl to not load from the default path when running cucumber?

I tried FactoryGirl.definition_file_paths = %w(support/factories) but it still gives the same error? Any way to resolve this?

Hey,

The best solution I can think of for this situation is to use spec/support/factories.rb and features/support/factories.rb. That will prevent factory_girl from autoloading factories in either case, and will allow RSpec/Cucumber to load factories when appropriate.
