Use the same Faker::Internet.email when called in different places

[Donald Pinkus]

I generate a "user" and I generate an "alpha_user". Both should have the same e-mail. Can this be accomplished using faker?

Basically I want the emails created in both factories to be the same:

FactoryGirl.define do 

factory :alpha_user do

email { Faker::Internet.email }

end

end

FactoryGirl.define do 

factory :user do

email { Faker::Internet.email }

end

end

I would do this a different way. 

Leave your factories as is. 

But then do something like this…

email = Faker::Internet.email

user = FactoryGirl.create :user, email: email

alpha = FactoryGirl.create :alpha_user, email: email

If you need additional attributes to be the same, do something like this…

user = FactoryGirl.build :user

alpha = FactoryGirl.build :alpha_user, user.attributes

Hope this helps.
