Question

im have model Category.

class Category < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_ancestry :cache_depth => true, :depth_cache_column => :depth
end

Category have field name. Im want to build a factory for category with depth level 2.
When this factory will be invoked it must build category level 2 and have parent category with level 1.
How to do this?
Im trying various tricks, all dont work. Im stop at something like that

Factory.define :category do |f|
  f.name                        { Faker::Lorem.word }
  f.parent                      { Factory.create(:category) }
end

Thank you!

Answer 1

Maybe you can create another factory, which has no parent.
And if you want to have you’re 2 level category you do:

Factory(:category_level2)

The factory definition could be something like that:

Factory.define :category do |f|
  f.name   { Faker::Lorem.word }
end

Factory.define :category_level2, :parent => :category do |f|
  f.parent { Factory.create(:category) }
end

Cheers
