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
I was determined to use the newest version of Factory Girl, so I tried to adapt the code. Didn't work for me, so I used
gem 'factory_girl_rails', '1.0'
in the Gemfile to lock the version at 1.0
bundle update
restart spork and autotest and it worked.
