[factory_girl] Factory Girl with non-AR models

[Bradley]

I'm trying to stub out some service models that I have and I'd like to
use factory_girl as that's what I'm using for my AR models also. Is
this possible?

I just tried creating the class (in lib) and factory below to no
avail. I get wrong # of arguments. I'm not sure how factory_girl
reflects on that object to determine what params to pass in. Do I
need to define my stub class in some specific way?

class SomeStub

attr_accessor :name, :age

def initialize(name, age)
@name=name
@age=age
end
end

with Factory:

Factory.define :some_stub, :default_strategy => :build do |s|
s.name 'some stub'
s.age 456
end

Why wouldn't you just use mocha, rr, or some other mocking lib?

Best.

ya i've never used mocha, just thought i'd see if it was possible to
stick with one framework for this type of thing, i'll look into it i
guess if it's not possible with factory_girl

While I agree with Mike's comment.

The error is because of your constructor

Make it more ActiveRecord like

def initialize(*args={})
args.each_pair do |n,v|
self.send("#{n}=",v)
end
end

See how that works,

If you're going to go that route you won't want to use the splat operator with a default since that'll blow up on ya ;)

def initialize(args={})

args.each_pair do |n,v|
self.send("#{n}=",v)
end
end

Best.
