Problem with Factory_girl, association and after_initialize

Question

I have a Family class so defined:

class Family < ActiveRecord::Base
  after_initialize :initialize_family
  belongs_to :user
  validates :user, 
       :prese         


        

Answer 1

I believe that it's because the association is lazy, thus in the "after_initialize" there's no user yet.

Perhaps you can directly call one factory from another, but I didn't try this, e.g.

f.user Factory(:user)
