railstutorial.org - undefined method `Factory'

Question

I\'m attempting to follow railstutorial.org, and am currently on Chapter 7, where you start using factories: http://railstutorial.org/chapters/modeling-and-viewing-users-two#sec

Answer 1

For those finding this page now: note where you once used "FactoryGirl" you must now use "FactoryBot" in your tests. From the thoughtbot announcement page:

"We’re renaming factory_girl to factory_bot (and factory_girl_rails to factory_bot_rails). All the same functionality of factory_girl, now under a different name."
