FactoryGirl - Define factories in a different directory other than spec/factories

[Carlos Chavez]

Hi All.

I'm using factory girl on a rake task, by default its loading the factories from spec/factories, but I want to define a new set of factories in a different directory.

In config/application.rb I tried the following:

    config.generators do |g|
      g.fixture_replacement :factory_girl, :dir => '#{config.root}/lib/test_data_strap/factories'
    end

I also tried:

    FactoryGirl.definition_file_paths = %w(#{config.root}/lib/test_data_strap/factories)
    FactoryGirl.find_definitions


But those does not work, still loading the factories from spec/factories.

Hi All.

I changed in the application.rb to the following:

FactoryGirl.definition_file_paths = %W(lib/test_data_strap/factories)
FactoryGirl.reload

Now, its seems like is loading the factories defined in that directory, but It seems that still loading the one that I have on spec/factories.

I have the following error messages:

Factory already registered: lu_age

/home/cchavez/scholastic/bitbucket/pcd-bookeditor/spec/factories/lu_age.rb:1:in `<top (required)>'

The thing is that I don't want to load the ones on spec/factories.

Hi All.

I think found the solution, put the sentences on application.rb does not work, not sure why, what I did was put the following in the method that I'm going to call the factories:


    FactoryGirl.factories.clear
    FactoryGirl.definition_file_paths = %W(lib/test_data_strap/factories)
    FactoryGirl.reload

those lines does not work on the application.rb, but its working on the module that I'm going to use to create the data.
