Attribute not in model

[Diego Guebel]

I'm using acts_as_taggable_on to tag some models. I've tried a few things but still straggling to fabricate a User model that is marked a acts_as_tagger and models that are marked as acts_as_taggable_on.

I'm using Rails 4, therefore attr_accessible is not longer allowed. The controller that creates this Model (i.e.: post) is expecting tag as a valid parameter and I do:

class PostController

def create

     ......

     @user.tag(@post, :with => @opts[:tag], :on => :category)

     ......

end

I'd like to fabricate Post passing different tags as parameter to being able to test i.e.: filter functions

I was expecting to do something like:

Fabricator(:post) do

   title

   author

   .....

   tag 'category 1, category 2'

end

But it fails because tag isn't in the model.

Thanks in advance.

You can only set attributes in the fabricator block, although you could leverage a callback to set the tags. I would declare a transient for the tag names and then apply then if present.

Fabricator(:post) do

  transient :tag_names

  author

  before_validation do |post, transients|

    transients[:tag_names].split(', ').each do |tag_name|

      post.author.tag(post, with: tag_name, on: :category)

    end if transients[:tag_names].present?

  end

end

I just wrote this off the top of my head so I apologize for anything invalid, but hopefully you get the idea. Let me know how it works out!
