factory_girl_rails 
factory_girl 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.
Rails
factory_girl_rails provides Rails integration for factory_girl.
Currently, automatic factory definition loading is the only Rails-specific feature.
Supported Rails versions are listed in Appraisals. Supported
Ruby versions are listed in .travis.yml.
Download
Github: http://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl_rails
Gem:
gem install factory_girl_rails
Configuration
Add factory_girl_rails to your Gemfile:
gem 'factory_girl_rails'
Generators for factories will automatically substitute fixture (and maybe any other
fixture_replacement you set). If you want to disable this feature, add the
following to your application.rb file:
config.generators do |g|
g.factory_girl false
end
Default factories directory is test/factories, or spec/factories if
test_framework generator is set to :rspec; change this behavior with:
config.generators do |g|
g.factory_girl dir: 'custom/dir/for/factories'
end
If you use factory_girl for fixture replacement, ensure that factory_girl_rails is available in the development group. If it's not, Rails will generate standard .yml files instead of factory files.
factory_girl takes an option suffix: 'some_suffix' to generate factories as
modelname_some_suffix.rb.
If you use factory_girl for fixture replacement and already have a
factories.rb file in the directory that contains your tests,
factory_girl_rails will insert new factory definitions at the top of
factories.rb.
