How to use FactoryGirl with Rails 3.1 attr_accessible ?

[Man Vuong Ha Thanh]

I have a model like this:

class Customer < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :name
  attr_accessible :name, :credit_rating, :as => :admin

end

To set the credit_rating attribute we must do:

c = Customer.create!({
      :name => "Customer", 
      :credit_rating => 2.5
    }, :as => :admin)

How can we define this in Factory?

Thanks.

FactoryGirl assigns each attribute directly, which bypasses attr_accessible. The article here: https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl/wiki/How-factory_girl-interacts-with-ActiveRecord explains how FactoryGirl and ActiveRecord interact more explicitly, but declaring the factory as

factory :customer do

  name 'My wonderful customer'

  credit_rating 2.5

end

should be fine.

Best of luck!
