rspec factory create_list with association
To create a list of associated objects using rspec
factory, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Define the factory for the associated object
In your factory file, define the factory for the associated object using the factory
method. For example, if you have a User
model which has many Posts
, you would define the factory for Post
as follows:
FactoryBot.define do
factory :post do
# attributes for the post
end
end
Step 2: Define the factory for the main object
Next, define the factory for the main object (e.g., User
) which has the association with the associated object. In this case, you would define the factory for User
as follows:
FactoryBot.define do
factory :user do
# attributes for the user
# association with posts
posts { association(:post) }
end
end
Step 3: Use create_list
method
To create a list of associated objects, you can use the create_list
method provided by rspec
. In your test file, you can write the following code:
# assuming you have defined the factories as mentioned above
# create 5 users with associated posts
users = create_list(:user, 5)
This will create 5 User
objects, each with an associated Post
object.
That's it! You have successfully created a list of associated objects using rspec
factory.
