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

I have done so, add require 'factory_girl' to test_helper.rb and

@user = FactoryGirl.create(:user)

Answer 2

In your spec use

  @user = FactoryGirl(:user)

instead of

  @user = Factory(:user)

Answer 3

For me I had to add require 'factory_girl' to test_helper.rb

Answer 4

As per the latest version of Factory Girl (currently v4.0.0) rewrite factories.rb

FactoryGirl.define do 
  factory :user do
    name                  "Michael Hartl"
    email                 "mhartl@example.com"
    password              "foobar"
    password_confirmation "foobar"
  end
end

then call it from your users controller specs as:

FactoryGirl.create(:user)
