Issue when creating object with FactoryGirl

Ruby
1

Hi Experts,

I am facing a weird issue. I learn that I can override default
attributes while instantiaing factory girl objects

I have a model, pasted below

when I instantiate the object overriding tc_user method, tc_user_id
becomes nil. Isn’t it supposed to pick up tc_user_id from my factory.

I am straching my head for 2 days. please help. Thanks in advance.

Thanks

models/user.rb

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

Include default devise modules. Others available are:

:confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable

devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable

Setup accessible (or protected) attributes for your model

attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation,
:remember_me
attr_accessible :tc_user_id, :tc_user , :created_timestamp,
:approved, :admin_user, :email,
:manager_id, :sso_id, :profile_image, :notes, :group_id,
:city_id, :functional_area, :medium_group,
:pay_id, :users_org, :group
has_many :est_claims, :primary_key => :tc_user_id, :foreign_key =>
:tc_user_id
has_many :est_notes, :primary_key => :tc_user_id, :foreign_key =>
:tc_user_id

validates :tc_user_id, :tc_user, :email, :manager_id, :group_id,

:pay_id, :users_org, presence: true

belongs_to :group
belongs_to :city
has_many :subordinates, class_name: "User", foreign_key:

“manager_id”
belongs_to :manager, class_name: “User”
end

factories/user.rb

Defines a new sequence

FactoryGirl.define do
sequence :email do |n|
“person#{n}_#{DateTime.now}@example.com”
end
end

FactoryGirl.define do
factory :group do
name “USER”
end

end

This will guess the User class

FactoryGirl.define do
factory :user do
tc_user “John D.”
email
password 12345678
manager_id 1
tc_user_id { Faker::Number.number(6) }
group
pay_id 3
approved true
admin_user false
created_timestamp { DateTime.now }
end

This will use the User class (Admin would have been guessed)

factory :admin, class: User do
tc_user “Admin User”
email
approved true
tc_user_id 31735
password 12345678
manager_id 31735
group
pay_id 31735
admin_user true
created_timestamp { DateTime.now }
end
end
