Transient attribute gives "undefined method `name' for false:FalseClass"

[AQ]

The code below work if I substitute the "sub" on the last line with a number say 99.

Why can I not access the transient attribute "sub" when setting this association?

 

 factory :tx_link do

    units 9.99

    

    factory :link_to_sub do

      ignore do

        sub 0

      end

      units { sub }

      giver { |tx| tx.association(:transaction, units: sub) }

    end

  end

You can access other attributes in attribute definitions because the attribute block is defined in the context of an Evaluator proxy, but that only happens for blocks without arguments. You can rewrite the `giver` line there as either of these:

    giver { association(:transaction, units: sub) }

    giver { |tx| tx.association(:transaction, units: tx.sub) }
