NameError: uninitialized constant ...

[Abbas Mashayekh]

Hi, I think I have a problem in configuring/using Factory Girl.

I'm using Rails 3.2 + RSpec + Mongoid + factory_girl_rails. The problem is that when I use, for example, FactoryGirl.build(:valid_user), rake gives me this error:

     NameError:
       uninitialized constant ValidUser

spec/factories.rb:
FactoryGirl.define do
  factory :valid_user do
    name     'username'
    email    'a...@b.com'
    password 'somepassword'
  end
    ...
end

spec/models/user_spec.rb:
require 'spec_helper'

describe User do
  let(:user) { FactoryGirl.build(:valid_user) }
 
  it "should save user with valid field values" do
    user.should be_valid
  end
end

spec/spec_helper.rb:
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
require 'rspec/rails'
require 'rspec/autorun'
require 'capybara/rspec'

Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each {|f| require f}

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.infer_base_class_for_anonymous_controllers = false
  config.include FactoryGirl::Syntax::Methods
end

Hello Abbas,

You may want to add the class name to your factory definition

factory :valid_user, class: 'User' do

I got stuck on syntax, as I missed the colon after class the first time I tried using this...

If you want, you can also use pre-1.9 hash rocket syntax like:

factory :valid_user, :class => User do

YMMV,
