Testing simple STI with FactoryGirl

Question

I have got a class, that is the base of some other classes that specializes the behavior:

class Task < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :type, :name, :com         


        

Answer 1

You can declare the definitions of factories as follow:

FactoryGirl.define do
  factory :task, class: 'Task' do
    shop
    currency
    value 10
  end

  factory :counter_task, parent: :task, class: 'CounterTask' do
  end
end

And now you can test base class isolated from its own factory and the same for each inherited class.
