model build fails in the console when using 'after_initialize' callback in the model

[Javix]

I tried to check one of my factories in Rails console and can't figure out why it fails.

Here is the model definition:

#timesheet.rb

class Timesheet < ActiveRecord::Base

  attr_accessible :status, :user_id, :start_date, :end_date, :activities_attributes

  

  SUBMITTED = 'Submitted'

  APPROUVED = 'Approuved'

  REJECTED = 'Rejected'

  

  STATUS_VALUES = [SUBMITTED, APPROUVED, REJECTED]

validates :status, presence: true, inclusion: {in: STATUS_VALUES}  

  

  after_update :check_an_activity_present

  

  after_initialize :init_working_week

private

    def init_working_week

      if start_date.blank? || end_date.blank?

        set_start_and_end_dates

      end

    end

    def set_start_and_end_dates

      filter_date = Date.today

      last_timesheet = Timesheet.last

      filter_date = last_timesheet.start_date.next_week if last_timesheet

      self.start_date = filter_date.beginning_of_week

      self.end_date = filter_date.end_of_week

    end

...

end

Here are factories:

#timesheets.rb

FactoryGirl.define do

  factory :timesheet do

    user

    

    factory :submitted do

      status Timesheet::SUBMITTED

      

      after(:build) do |submitted|

        timesheet.activities << FactoryGirl.build(:activity)

      end

    end

    

    factory :approuved do

      status Timesheet::APPROUVED

    end

    

    factory :rejected do

      status Timesheet::REJECTED

    end

  end

end

When I tried to create a timesheet in the console as follows:

Loading development environment in sandbox (Rails 3.2.12)

Any modifications you make will be rolled back on exit

irb(main):001:0> require 'factory_girl_rails'

=> true

irb(main):002:0> t = FactoryGirl.create(:submitted_timesheet)

I got the following error indicating that the STATUS validation fails:

ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid: Validation failed: Status can't be blank, Status is not included in the list

from /Users/serge-mac/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p327/gems/activerecord-3.2.12/lib/active_record/validations.rb:56:in `save!'

from /Users/serge-mac/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p327/gems/activerecord-3.2.12/lib/active_record/attribute_methods/dirty.rb:33:in `save!'

from /Users/serge-mac/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p327/gems/activerecord-3.2.12/lib/active_record/transactions.rb:264:in `block in save!'

Any idea?

Thanks and regards

Fixed it, the problem was in association factory definition (activities.rb). So the modified version looks like that:

#spec/factories/timesheets.rb

FactoryGirl.define do

  factory :timesheet do

    user

    

    factory :submitted_timesheet do

      status Timesheet::SUBMITTED

      

      after(:build) do |submitted_timesheet|

        submitted_timesheet.activities << FactoryGirl.build(:activity, timesheet: submitted_timesheet)

      end

    end

    

    factory :approuved_timesheet do

      status Timesheet::APPROUVED

    end

    

    factory :rejected_timesheet do

      status Timesheet::REJECTED

    end

  end

end

#spec/factories/activities.rb

FactoryGirl.define do

  factory :activity do

    timesheet

    task

    

    after(:build) do |activity|

      activity.time_entries << FactoryGirl.build(:time_entry, activity: activity)

    end

  end

end

#spec/factories/time_entries.rb

FactoryGirl.define do

  factory :time_entry do

    activity    

    workdate Date.today.beginning_of_week

    worktime 1

  end

end

Now when creating a timesheet:

@timesheet = create(:submitted_timesheet) }

everything works as needed:  user, project, task, activity and time_entry created.

Hope this helps.
