Children with the same Parents

[Jan Jezek]

Hi there, 

How can I make a bunch of "childrens" (in my case Votings) with the same Parent (in my case User, Answer, Question, Survey)?

I wanna provide a "special set of Votings" for my tests.

Fabricator :voting do

end

Fabricator :full_voting, from: :voting do

  participant { Fabricate :participant_basic }

  survey

  question

  answer

  department { Fabricate :department }

  user

  answer1 1

  answer2 0

  answer3 -1

end

This is my model:

class Voting < ActiveRecord::Base

  attr_accessible :survey_id,

                  :department_id,

                  :question_id,

                  :answer_id,

                  :answer1,

                  :answer2,

                  :answer3

  belongs_to :participant

  belongs_to :user

  belongs_to :department

  belongs_to :industry

  belongs_to :survey

  belongs_to :question

  belongs_to :answer

  #has_many :opinions

  #has_many :answers, through: :opinions

  validates_presence_of :participant, :user, :survey, :question, :answer1, :answer2, :answer3

end

I know I can do something like:

Fabrcator :answer do

  voting(count: 100) {Fabricate :voting)

end

But this does not work because, Voting needs also a User, Question and so on and they are always newly generated with each call. 

Please help me out of that maze.

many thanks in advance

If I understand your question correctly, you need the user for this voting to be the same as the user for the survey, question, and answer. To do that, you can structure your fabricator like this.

```

Fabricator :full_voting, from: :voting do

  participant(fabricator: :participant_basic)

  user

  survey { |attrs| Fabricate(:survey, user: attrs[:user]) }

  question { |attrs| Fabricate(:question, user: attrs[:user]) }

  answer { |attrs| Fabricate(:answer, user: attrs[:user]) }

  department

  answer1 1

  answer2 0

  answer3 -1

end

```
