associated models

[vladr]

In models:
Corporation has_many :employees
Employee belongs_to :corporation

Feature
...
Given a corporation exists with name: "Test Corp Name"
And an employee exists with first_name: "First name", corporation_id: that corporation

These code creates objects which are not associated with each one.
So I have corporation_id which is not the same as id of "Test Corp Name" corporation

I have tried to use:
...
Given a corporation exists with name: "Test Corp Name"
And an employee exists with first_name: "Test", corporation: "Precision Door Service"

And got an error: "Corporation(#81549430) expected, got String(#67388660) (ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch)"

So what is the best way to create associated models using pickle?
I can create models from table but, I think, it is not the best way

Thanks for answers!

Gemfile:
...

gem 'machinist', '>= 2.0.0.beta2'
gem 'cucumber-rails', '~> 0.5'
gem 'database_cleaner', '~> 0.6'
gem 'pickle', '~> 0.4.7'
gem 'launchy'

Have you tried using the association “corporation” instead of the key “corporation_id”?

Given a corporation exists with name: "Test Corp Name"

And an employee exists with first_name: "First name", corporation: the corporation

You can 'label' the models when you create them, so that you can refer
to them later on in your scenario. Like so:

Given a corporation "goo" exists with name: "Test Corp Name"
And an employee exists with first_name: "First name", corporation:
corporation "goo"
