Closes #1196 We deprecated looking up factories by class in #877. We introduced `allow_class_lookup` option so that people could disable the behavior entirely after fixing the deprecation warning. In preparation for factory_bot 5, I am removing the deprecation warning and the `allow_class_lookup` option. It is no longer possible to look up factories by class. This has also made the ClassKeyHash decorator unnecessary. The behavior is technically a little different now that we are using HashWithIndifferentAccess instead of calling to_sym on the key, but it should behave identically for any standard, documented factory_bot usage. |

factory_bot 
factory_bot is a fixtures replacement with a straightforward definition syntax, support for multiple build strategies (saved instances, unsaved instances, attribute hashes, and stubbed objects), and support for multiple factories for the same class (user, admin_user, and so on), including factory inheritance.
If you want to use factory_bot with Rails, see factory_bot_rails.

Documentation
You should find the documentation for your version of factory_bot on Rubygems.
See GETTING_STARTED for information on defining and using factories. We also have a detailed introductory video, available for free on Upcase.
Install
Add the following line to Gemfile:
gem 'factory_bot'
and run bundle install from your shell.
To install the gem manually from your shell, run:
gem install factory_bot
Caveat: As of ActiveSupport 5.0 and above, Ruby 2.2.2+ is required. Because of Rubygems' dependency resolution when installing gems, you may see an error similar to:
$ gem install factory_bot
ERROR: Error installing factory_bot:
activesupport requires Ruby version >= 2.2.2.
To bypass this, install a pre-5.0 version of ActiveSupport before installing manually.
Supported Ruby versions
The factory_bot 5.x series supports MRI Ruby 2.3+.
The factory_bot 3.x+ series supports MRI Ruby 1.9. Additionally, factory_bot 3.6+ supports JRuby 1.6.7.2+ while running in 1.9 mode. See GETTING_STARTED for more information on configuring the JRuby environment.
For versions of Ruby prior to 1.9, please use factory_bot 2.x.
