[factory_girl] factory_girl breaks db:migrate Rake task on clean instance of DB

[Jared Luxenberg]

If I delete my development database and try to restore its schema
using migrations, factory_girl loads as part of the migration process
before any migrations are run. It tries to use one of my ActiveRecord
objects before the tables in the database are created by my
migrations, causing an error like this (when using Postgres):

rake aborted!
PGError: ERROR: relation "licenses" does not exist
: SELECT a.attname, format_type(a.atttypid, a.atttypmod),
d.adsrc, a.attnotnull
FROM pg_attribute a LEFT JOIN pg_attrdef d
ON a.attrelid = d.adrelid AND a.attnum = d.adnum
WHERE a.attrelid = '"licenses"'::regclass
AND a.attnum > 0 AND NOT a.attisdropped
ORDER BY a.attnum


Any thoughts on why factory_girl is attempting to load itself before
my migrations run?

My mistake, I was using Factory directly in my define block, like this:
Factory.define :foo do |f|
f.bar Factory(:widget, :property => "baz")
end

rather than thunking the call to Factory with a block like this:
Factory.define :foo do |f|
f.bar do Factory(:widget, :property => "baz") end
end
