Rails 3.1rc4 , migrations and FactoryGirl

[macarthy]

Hi i'm using Rails 3.1rc4, and FactoryGirl on ruby 1.9.2-p136,  and I'm having an issue when running my migrations.

Versions are : 

Using factory_girl (2.0.1) 

Using factory_girl_rails (1.1.0) 

If a table that factory_girl needs are not yet defined, my migrations will not run.

If I comment out FactoryGirl in my bundle , bundle install and run migrate, and  all is well.

Stacktrace below .... 

Anyone else having this issue , is this a known issue?

Thanks Justin

Is any of your factories calling other factories inside it?
Ive had a similar problem when I was in the above mentioned scenario, where my migrations would only run if I commented out the particular factory code, since it tried to access a table that still wasnt there, since the migrations hadn't run yet.

Hi Justin,

[not in the same environment ... ] Rails 2.x, Ree (aka 1.8.7)

Migrations should be running as development, not as test. Sorry if this suggestion is too simple...

1) Have you made sure Gemfile has :group => :test ?

2) As a more complicated solution, we use :require => false, and manually require factory_girl / shoulda in our code.

This is because the factories were loading the classes in the parent spork process and screwing things up for us.

If you want to try something like that, ping me and I can share more info.

But basically it looks like this:

Gemfile:

group :test do

  gem 'factory_girl', '1.2.3', :require => false

end

config/initializer/sporkless.rb:

using_spork = defined?(Spork) && Spork.using_spork?

unless using_spork

  if Rails.env.test? || Rails.env.cucumber?

    require 'factory_girl'

    require 'shoulda'

  end

end

test/test_helper.rb:

Spork.each_run do

  # This code will be run each time you run your tests.

  require 'factory_girl'

  Factory.find_definitions

  require 'shoulda'

end

Hope that helps,

Keenan
