I watched the RailsCasts episode on factory_girl, and I''m trying to get out of fixtures. * Does anybody know an open source project that uses many of the factory_girls features? I came up with a pseudo code for possibly showing some association features I don''t understand yet. Here''s the code. It''s blog posts with comments plus tagging: ############################ CODE STARTS create_table "posts", :force => true do |t| t.string "title" t.text "content" end create_table "comments", :force => true do |t| t.ingeter "post_id" t.string "content" end create_table "tagging", :force => true do |t| t.integer "tag_id" t.integer "post_id" end create_table "tags", :force => true do |t| t.string "name" end ######################################## class Post has_many :comments has_many :tags has_many :tags, :through => :tagging end class Tags has_many :posts has_many :posts, :through => :tagging end class Tagging belongs_to :post belongs_to :tag end ######################################### Factory.define :post do |p| p.title ''On Girls'' p.content ''bar foo'' # Do I need p.association? But how can I connect end Factory.define :tag do |t| t.name ''Ruby'' end Factory.define :tagging do |tagging| # What am I going to do here? end Factory.define :comment do |c| c.conent ''foo bar'' c.association :post, :factory => :post end #################################### END OF CODE I tried in many ways, but I''m not getting how to deal with associations. Can anybody help filling in code? John Hunt
