Hi! I''m using Rspec and factory_girl. In my products model I have a method that creates permalinks simply by overriding to_param, like this: def create_permalink self.permalink = "#{self.name} #{self.brand.name}".parameterize end My product factory looks like this: Factory.define :product do |p| p.sequence(:name) { |n| ''Product Name #{n}''} p.gender ''Man'' p.sequence(:price) { |n| 123.00 + n } p.product_url ''http://www.example.com/prod-url'' p.association :reseller p.association :subcategory end Then when I try to use the factory in Rspec, like this: Factory.create(:product) I get the following error: Failure/Error: Factory.create(:product) NoMethodError: undefined method `name'' for nil:NilClass Why is that?

I don''t see anything in the Factory setting it. -Dave -- Dave Aronson, President, Dave Aronson Software Engineering and Training Ruby on Rails Freelancing (Northern Virginia, Washington DC, or Remote) DaveAronson.com, Codosaur.us, Dare2XL.com, & RecruitingRants.com (NEW!)

Of course... Thank you! Sometimes when you''ve looked for too long on the code you get blind :) Regards Linus -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
