Error When Trying To Activate FactoryGirl Syntax

[Diego Dillenburg Bueno]

Hello all,

I'm still learning rails and trying to dive into TDD as early as possible, but I got a problem which I couldn't solve. The deal is that I'm trying to activate the FactoryGirl Syntax and getting an "unitialized constant FactoryGirl (NameError)" when attempting to run my specs.

Would appreciate any help given!

Ps.: I'm reading Aaron Sumner's Everyday Rails Specs book, but it uses an older version of the gems, I don't know if the new RSpec has something to do with it, as now I got 2 files(rails_helper and spec_helper) differente from the old structure.

For more information here is the repository link if you need more specific information about gemfile/spec configurations and such:

Thanks in advance!

I don't see Gemfile there. What is in that file?

Have a look at railstutorial.org (which is free to use online). It
uses factorygirl and is up to date.

Here is my gemfile, it's also located there on the main directory:

Have you done all the things in
https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl/blob/master/GETTING_STARTED.md#configure-your-test-suite

Yeah, well I was re-reading their github documentation and realized that I was saving my configs in the wrong place, the new factory_girl requires that you save your definitions onto support/factory_girl.rb as it seems, and I was having them located at spec_helper.rb.

Anyway, thanks for the help.

Regards,
