I am trying to do a simple test for my model Course, I have wrote this factory:
FactoryGirl.define do
factory :course do
name 'How to be happy ?'
end
end
the course_spec.rb:
require "rspec"
require 'factory_girl_rails'
describe "When a course is created" do
it "can't be deleted if any student is enrolled to it" do
FactoryGirl.find_definitions
course = FactoryGirl.build(:course)
student= Student.create!
course.students << student
course.destroy
course.name.should !=nil
end
end
but, I reach this line
course = FactoryGirl.build(:course)
I get the error:
FactoryGirl::DuplicateDefinitionError: Factory already registered: course
if I comment the :course definition in the factory, I get:
NameError: uninitialized constant Course
Any idea please ?
here is my Gem Envioronment:

Did you try to remove this line ?
I am using Factory Girl (with the factory_girl_rails gem) & Shoulda with a 3.1 project and didn’t have to explicitly load definitions.
