POFactoryGirl not giving useful validation errors
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm using FactoryGirl for my fixtures and am finding that it's not really producing useful validation errors. </p> <p>I always get the message for activerecord.errors.models.messages.record_invalid.</p> <p>Not sure what further details are needed to help diagnose this. This makes it an excruciatingly slow process to track each error down.</p> <p>Example factory:</p> <pre><code>Factory.define :partner do |partner| partner.sequence(:username){ |n| "amcconnon#{n}" } partner.first_name "Bobby Joe" partner.last_name "Smiley" partner.sequence(:email){ |n| "bob{n}@partners.com" } partner.phone_number "5557 5554" partner.country_id 75 partner.password "password" partner.password_confirmation "password" end </code></pre> <p>Then Factory(:partner) => "ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid Exception: Looks like something went wrong with these changes"</p> <p>The actual problem is of course the email sequence doesn't use n properly and there is a unique validation on email. But that's for illustrative purposes.</p> <p>rails => 3.2.2 factory_girl 2.6.1</p> <p>Any other deets needed to help diagnose this?</p> <p>(Note: edited this just to add an easier to read factory)</p> <p>EDIT: </p> <p>As per bijan's comment: "What exactly am I trying to do."</p> <p>Trying to run "rspec spec". I would like when I use a factory like Factory(:partner) in this case for the error message when that fails to contain the same error I would get from Partner.new({blah...}).valid? then looked at the validation failures.</p>
