DeclarationList knows how to generate an attribute
list, which never really made sense outside of being generated from
declarations. Now, the declaration list builds a list of attributes
which is combined in Factory#attributes with attributes from traits and
its parents.
Both Factory and Trait have similar methods and interact with a
DefinitionProxy. The idea here is to move the interface DefinitionProxy
expects to a separate class and both Factory and Trait can delegate to
an instance of Definition.
This introduces a couple of things: firstly, there's now a MockFactory
that allows for introspection instead of spying all over the place. This
should make tests a lot less brittle. Secondly, a couple of handy
matchers have been made available to perform assertions against the
mock.
Declarations are another layer of abstraction between defining the
factories via the DSL and compiling the factories and their attributes.
Declarations know how to return their attribute(s), and running a
factory compiles the declarations before building all attributes on the
factory. This moves all the attribute compilation logic into one
centralized location on the Factory instance, which means traits (and
potentially other features down the road) can have individual attributes
overridden within child factories or through FactoryGirl.modify
