Factory-girl create that bypasses my model validation

Question

I am using Factory Girl to create two instances in my model/unit test for a Group. I am testing the model to check that a call to .current returns only the \'current\' groups ac

Answer 1

Or you can use both FactoryBot and Timecop with something like:

trait :expired do
  transient do
    travel_backward_to { 2.days.ago }
  end
  before(:create) do |_instance, evaluator|
    Timecop.travel(evaluator.travel_backward_to)
  end
  after(:create) do
    Timecop.return
  end
end

let!(:expired_group) { FactoryGirl.create(:group, :expired, travel_backward_to: 5.days.ago, expiry: Time.now - 3.days) }

Edit: Do not update this event after creation or validations will fail.
