Fabricator for an image object.

[Diego DeSouza]

I am trying to create an object that has an attribute image

I am wondering if there's a way to Fabricate it.

I have tried this.

Fabricator(:image) do

  filename {"fake_image.png"}

end

then in my object

Fabricator(:project) do

  title { sequence(:title) {|i| "This cool title number #{i}"} }

  event_date Date.today

  featured_image { Fabricate(:image) }

  text "Stuff"

end

Still doesn't go through the validation. 

Suggestions?

Fabrication is setting a field on your `Image` model called `filename` to the string value provided ("fake_image.png").

To get the behavior you want, it may depend on what is handling your image attachments. If you were using carrierwave your model would look something like this:

```

class Project

  mount_uploader :featured_image

end

```

That will create a field on your model called `featured_image` and allow you to set an actual file object on it. Let's say you have an image file for your test suite at `spec/support/fake_image.png`. Your fabricator would look like this:

```

Fabricator(:project) do

  featured_image { File.open(File.join(Rails.root, 'spec', 'support', 'fake_image.png')) }

end

```

It's actually providing the the image file to the field, not just the name of the file.
