如何在 Rails 控制台中使用 FactoryGirl 中的工厂

我在开发环境中使用 Rails 控制台,我想使用工厂。我怎么才能接近他们?

我试过返回的 require "FactoryGirl"

1.9.3p393 :301 > require "FactoryGirl"
LoadError: cannot load such file -- FactoryGirl

To solve this problem ensure that the factory bot gem is specifed in your Gemfile similar to this

group :development, :test do
gem 'factory_bot_rails'
end

Then bundle install.

This should make FactoryBot class available in the development console.

Hope this helps.

You need to require 'factory_bot_rails', which is the actual gem that's being used by Rails. That gem will include the Factory Bot library, making FactoryBot available.

You can either do this, or update your Gemfile to require it at startup as in muttonlamb's answer.

I do this the following way:

  • Start the rails console in test environment in sandbox mode.

    rails console -e test --sandbox
    

You need this for two reasons:

  1. Any changes you do are rolled back.
  2. If you already have some seed data it might happen that the factories will start the serialization of attributes from 1, but these records might already exist.

Then in the console:

  • Require FactoryBot (was called FactoryGirl):

    require 'factory_bot'
    
  • Load the factory definitions:

    FactoryBot.find_definitions
    
  • Include the FactoryBot methods to avoid prefixing all calls to FB with FactoryBot (create instead of FactoryBot.create):

    include FactoryBot::Syntax::Methods
    

P.S. For fabrication gem you can load the definitions in the rails console with:

Fabrication.manager.load_definitions

Also require 'faker' if you use it.

If you want to have it available each time you start the console, you can add this piece of code to the top of your config/environments/development.rb:

require 'factory_bot_rails'
require 'faker' # if you're also using faker gem
require 'rails/console/helpers'
Rails::ConsoleMethods.prepend(FactoryBot::Syntax::Methods)


Now you can use the built-in helpers right after starting the console, for example:

company = create(:company)
