I'm trying to run rspec with FactoryGirl, but I keep getting this error:
1) Products Update with invalid information
Failure/Error: let(:product) { FactoryGirl.create(:product) }
ArgumentError:
Factory not registered: product
# ./spec/requests/products_spec.rb:47:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
# ./spec/requests/products_spec.rb:52:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
–
Here's the test with the error (spec/requests/products_spec.rb):
describe "Read" do
let(:product) { FactoryGirl.create(:product) }
before { visit product_path(product) }
it { should have_text(product.title) }
end
–
Here's the factory (spec/factories.rb):
FactoryGirl.define do
factory :product do
title "Lorem ipsum"
description "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Fusce vitae ipsum consectetur, semper dolor sed, dignissim enim."
image_url "lorem.png"
price 9.95
end
end

I restarted the server (with Spork and Guard) and nothing changed, though I may not be restarting Spork/Guard correctly.
–
I do have require 'factory_girl' in my spec/spec_helper.rb.

Here's my Gemfile. Note that I am using "factory_girl_rails" in my Gemfile:
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'rails', '4.1.1'

Can you find the error?
Best Answer
I threw a bunch of stuff at this, so it's hard to tell what the precise fix was. One thing I did was switch
require 'factory_girl'
in spec_helper.rb torequire 'factory_girl_rails'
and that seems to be the most plausible solution.Also, I added
config.include FactoryGirl::Syntax::Methods
to theRspec.configure
block of spec_helper.rb and I think that was also important.
