2.2.0 (October 14, 2011) Clean up RSpec suite to not use 'should' Use create_list in step definitions Syntax methods that deal with ORM interaction (attributes_for, build, build_stubbed, and create) now accept a block that yields the result. This results in a more convenient way to interact with the result than using Object.tap. Standardize deprecation warnings Update transient attribute syntax to use blocks instead of calling ignore on each attribute declaration Parents can be defined after children because factories are evaluated when they're used; this means breaking up factories across multiple files will behave as expected Large internal refactoring, including changing access modifiers for a handful of methods for a more clearly defined API 2.1.2 (September 23, 2011) Bugfix: Vintage syntax fixed after bug introduced in 2.1.1 Introduce dependency on activesupport to remove code from Factory class 2.1.1 (September 23, 2011) (yanked) Bugfix: Parent object callbacks are run before child object callbacks Declarations: allow overriding/modification of individual traits in child factories Callbacks refactored to not be attributes Updating documentation for formatting and clarity (incl. new specificity for cucumber) 2.1.0 (September 02, 2011) Bugfix: created_at now defined for stubbed models Gemspec updated for use with Rails 3.1 Factories can now be modified post-definition (useful for overriding defaults from gems/plugins) All factories can now be reloaded with Factory.reload Add :method => build to factory associations to prevent saving of associated objects Factories defined in {Rails.root}/factories are now loaded by default Various documentation updates 1.1.4 (November 28, 2008) Factory.build now uses Factory.create for associations of the built object Factory definitions are now detected in subdirectories, such as factories/person_factory.rb (thanks to Josh Nichols) Factory definitions are now loaded after the environment in a Rails project (fixes some issues with dependencies being loaded too early) (thanks to Josh Nichols) Factory names ending in 's' no longer cause problems (thanks to Alex Sharp and Josh Owens) 1.1.3 (September 12, 2008) Automatically pull in definitions from factories.rb, test/factories.rb, or spec/factories.rb 1.1.2 (July 30, 2008) Improved error handling for invalid and undefined factories/attributes Improved handling of strings vs symbols vs classes Added a prettier syntax for handling associations Updated documentation and fixed compatibility with Rails 2.1 1.1.1 (June 23, 2008) The attribute "name" no longer requires using #add_attribute 1.1.0 (June 3, 2008) Added support for dependent attributes Fixed the attributes_for build strategy to not build associations Added support for sequences 1.0.0 (May 31, 208) First version
