# factory_bot [](http://travis-ci.org/thoughtbot/factory_bot?branch=master) [](https://codeclimate.com/github/thoughtbot/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](https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_bot_rails).

### Transitioning from factory\_girl?
|
|
|
|
Check out the [guide](https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_bot/blob/4-9-0-stable/UPGRADE_FROM_FACTORY_GIRL.md).

Documentation
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
You should find the documentation for your version of factory_bot on [Rubygems](https://rubygems.org/gems/factory_bot).
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
gem 'factory_bot'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and run `bundle install` from your shell.
|
|
|
|
To install the gem manually from your shell, run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
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.
