how to force an associated object when seeding data

[kadoudal]

I am trying to seed data in my test DB using factory_girls

I have some static data created like :
puts "CREATE AREAS"
west = Area.create(name: "West)
north = Area.create(name: "North)
east = Area.create(name: "East)
south = Area.create(name: "South)
..
and I wrote
FactoryGirl.define do
factory :partner do
area
......
phone {....}
address { ...}


I want to seed partners for these areas, forcing the associated area
( west, north, east , south )
FactoryGirl.create(:partner) ??
how should I wrote it ?

thanks for feedback

FactoryGirl.create(:partner, area: west) 

FactoryGirl.create(:partner, area: north) 

FactoryGirl.create(:partner, area: east) 

FactoryGirl.create(:partner, area: south)

Thanks Chris

That's what I tested first, but I get an error :

FactoryGirl.build(:private_partner, area: ouest)

$ rake RAILS_ENV=test db:seed
rake aborted!
Trait not registered: area

as I have in my factories
factory :partner do
area
...
trait :private do
legal_framework {...}
...
end
...
trait :company
legal_framework {...}
..
end
factory :private_partner, traits: [:private]
factory :company_partner, traits: [:company]
end

I may have to indicate area inside each trait ?

[kadoudal]

after re-tseting , it seems that the association SHOULD be written
inside the factory redefinitions ... is that right ? ( not specified
in the doc ..)

factory :partner do
...
trait :private do
area

legal_framework {...}
...
end
...
trait :company

area

Hey,

Do you have an area factory? If you define an attribute without a value, factory_girl expects a factory, sequence, or trait to be defined by that name. Otherwise, it doesn't know how to supply a value for that attribute.
