"Uninitialized constant Faker" with FactoryGirl

[Mauricio Klein]

Hello!

I'm writing the tests to my rails application and I'm facing some problems to integrate Faker with FactoryGirl.

I've put both in Gemfile, section development and test, as below:

  group :development, :test do # <<<< :development

    gem 'sqlite3'

    gem 'factory_girl_rails'

    gem 'ffaker'

  end

All my tests are written under test/ directory.

In test/, I've created a factories/ folder with my user factory, as below:

FactoryGirl.define do

  factory :user do

    first_name { Faker::Name.first_name               }

    last_name  { Faker::Name.last_name                }

    email      { Faker::Internet.email                }

    password   { Faker::Interner.password             }

    user_type  { Faker::Number.positive(from=1, to=3) }

    trait :empty do

      first_name nil

      last_name nil

      email nil

      password nil

      user_type nil

    end

    trait :no_name do

      first_name nil

      last_name nil

    end

    trait :no_email do

      email nil

    end

    trait :invalid_email do

      email "abcdef"

    end

    trait :no_password do

      password nil

    end

    trait :no_usertype do

      user_type nil

    end

    trait :invalid_usertype do

      user_type 50

    end

  end

end

In my models test, I'm using FactoryGirl as usual (Example):

  test "should not create a new user without email and password" do

    user = build(:user, :empty)

    assert_not user.save, "Created the user without email and password"

  end

However, when I run the tests, I'm receiving the following error:

NameError: uninitialized constant Faker

I've already tried to add: 

require 'ffaker'

In both factory and model test files, but the problem persists.

Could someone please help me to figure out where the problem is?!

Thanks in advance for the support!

The Gemfile entry below says you're not.

FFaker != Faker
