ruby-1.9.2-p180 :007 > Factory.define :user do |user|
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :008 >       user.email                  "user@example.com"
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :009?>     user.password               "foobar"
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :010?>     user.password_confirmation  "foobar"
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :011?>   end
NameError: uninitialized constant Factory

My Gemfile:

group :test do 
  gem "rspec-rails"
  gem 'webrat', '0.7.1'
  gem 'spork', '0.9.0.rc4'
  gem 'factory_girl_rails'
end

Even tough it seems I have everything as it should, I keep getting that error. I also have factories.rb created.

Thanks

    I suppose you try in console in development environment. But you add the Factory gem only in test environment.

    If you want access to Factory_girl in development use in your Gemfile :

    group :test, :development do
  gem 'factory_girl_rails'
end

    Or if you want test your Factory launch your console in test environment :

    rails c test
