Error When Trying To Activate FactoryGirl Syntax

Rails
1

Hello all,

I’m still learning rails and trying to dive into TDD as early as
possible,
but I got a problem which I couldn’t solve. The deal is that I’m trying
to
activate the FactoryGirl Syntax and getting an “unitialized constant
FactoryGirl (NameError)” when attempting to run my specs.

Would appreciate any help given!

Ps.: I’m reading Aaron Sumner’s Everyday Rails Specs book, but it uses
an
older version of the gems, I don’t know if the new RSpec has something
to
do with it, as now I got 2 files(rails_helper and spec_helper)
differente
from the old structure.

For more information here is the repository link if you need more
specific
information about gemfile/spec configurations and such:

Thanks in advance!

I don’t see Gemfile there. What is in that file?

Have a look at railstutorial.org (which is free to use online). It
uses factorygirl and is up to date.

Here is my gemfile, it’s also located there on the main directory:

source ‘https://rubygems.org’

Bundle edge Rails instead: gem ‘rails’, github: ‘rails/rails’

gem ‘rails’, ‘4.1.0’

Use sqlite3 as the database for Active Record

gem ‘sqlite3’

Use SCSS for stylesheets

gem ‘sass-rails’, ‘~> 4.0.3’

Use Uglifier as compressor for JavaScript assets

gem ‘uglifier’, ‘>= 1.3.0’

Use CoffeeScript for .js.coffee assets and views

gem ‘coffee-rails’, ‘~> 4.0.0’

See GitHub - sstephenson/execjs: Run JavaScript code from Ruby for more supported

runtimes

gem ‘therubyracer’, platforms: :ruby

Use jquery as the JavaScript library

gem ‘jquery-rails’

end

group :test do
gem ‘shoulda-matchers’, require: false
end

Have you done all the things in

Yeah, well I was re-reading their github documentation and realized that
I
was saving my configs in the wrong place, the new factory_girl requires
that you save your definitions onto support/factory_girl.rb as it seems,
and I was having them located at spec_helper.rb.

Anyway, thanks for the help.
