Rails - Sep 2010 - Factory_girl association with specific values

Hope this should be simple: I have a User model and a Role model. Factories
for each.

When I create a User using FG, I want to assign a specific role. Cant seem
to figure out how to do this, getting errors like: uninitialized constant
SysadminRole for doing things this way:

Factory.define :user do |u|
  u.practice_id { |a| a.association(:practice).id }
  u.password ''password1''
  u.password_confirmation ''password1''
  u.role { |a| a.association(:sysadmin_role) }
end

Factory.define :sysadmin_role do |f|
  f.name ''sysadmin''
end

Thanks,

David

Since your model is called role and not sysadmin_role, you need to let  
FactoryGirl know. Otherwise it will use its convention of  
constantizing the symbol after "define" to determine the model to
call.

Factory.define :sysadmin_role, :class => "Role" do |f|

Also good to know is that if you want to use factories for roles that  
have some fields in common and others that are specific, that you can  
use this:

Factory.define :role do |f|
    f.common_field "foobar"
    f.name "guest"
end

Factory.define :sysadmin_role, :parent => :role do |f|
   f.name "sysadmin"
end

Factory.define :moderator_role, :parent => :role do |f|
   f.name "moderator"
end
