Can FactoryBot generate factories after your models have been created?
First thing, look at the source project to find out how it was implemented:
After that, try to guess how it works:
rails g factory_bot:model Car name speed:integerThe result is:
create test/factories/cars.rbAnd the content:
# Read about factories at https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girlFactoryBot.define do factory :car do name "MyString" speed 1 endendRemember, when you use rails g, you can always undo it, with rails d
rails d factory_bot:model Car name speed:integerNote: FactoryBot was previously named FactoryGirl
The --fixture-replacement option will let you tell rails what to generate for building test data. You can set this as a default in your config/application.rb file, like so:
config.generators do |g| g.fixture_replacement :factory_bot, suffix_factory: 'factory'end
