Setting an association attribute from another association

[Simone Carletti]

Hello list,

I'm trying to find a solution to this problem. I have a Resource model with the following relationships

Resource -> Domain -> User

Resource -> Contact -> User

And this is my declaration

  factory :certificate do

    ...

    association :domain

    association :contact

What I'd like to do, it to be able to specify the user for both associations to be the same. With the current declaration, when the associations are evaluated they result in two different users.

Ideally, I'd like to do something like this

  factory :certificate do

    ...

    association :domain

    association :contact, user_id: domain.user_id

or

  factory :certificate do

    user = ...

    ...

    association :domain, user_id: user.id

    association :contact, user_id: user.id

Any suggestion?

Thanks,

-- Simone

Hi Simone.

Its occurs to me that you can use after_build, for example:

after_build do |certificate|

    u = FactoryGirl.create(:user)
    certificate.domain = FactoryGirl.create(:domain, user:u)
    certificate.contact = FactoryGirl.create(:contact, user:u)

    ...

end
