Test with Rails 5.2 (#1146)
* Appraise with Rails 5.2
* Drop specific tiny versions for Ruby

This will reduce churn on this file as we try to keep up to date with
TEENY Ruby releases.

Travis installs Ruby via rvm with the --fuzzy flag. They also keep up to
date with the latest releases, so --fuzzy will likely always give us the
latest TEENY release.

factory_bot Build Status Code Climate

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 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.

More Information

You may also find useful information under the factory_girl tag on Stack Overflow.
