    <p>I have an ActiveRecord Model, PricePackage. That has a before_create call back. This call back uses a 3rd party API to make a remote connection. I am using factory girl and would like to stub out this api so that when new factories are built during testing the remote calls are not made. </p> <p>I am using Rspec for mocks and stubs. The problem i'm having is that the Rspec methods are not available within my factories.rb</p> <p>model:</p> <pre><code>class PricePackage &lt; ActiveRecord::Base has_many :users before_create :register_with_3rdparty attr_accessible :price, :price_in_dollars, :price_in_cents, :title def register_with_3rdparty return true if self.price.nil? begin 3rdPartyClass::Plan.create( :amount =&gt; self.price_in_cents, :interval =&gt; 'month', :name =&gt; "#{::Rails.env} Item #{self.title}", :currency =&gt; 'usd', :id =&gt; self.title) rescue Exception =&gt; ex puts "stripe exception #{self.title} #{ex}, using existing price" plan = 3rdPartyClass::Plan.retrieve(self.title) self.price_in_cents = plan.amount return true end end </code></pre> <p>factory:</p> <pre><code>#PricePackage Factory.define :price_package do |f| f.title "test_package" f.price_in_cents "500" f.max_domains "20" f.max_users "4" f.max_apps "10" f.after_build do |pp| # #heres where would like to mock out the 3rd party response # 3rd_party = mock() 3rd_party.stub!(:amount).price_in_cents 3rdPartyClass::Plan.stub!(:create).and_return(3rd_party) end end </code></pre> <p>I'm not sure how to get the rspec mock and stub helpers loaded into my factories.rb and this might not be the best way to handle this.</p>

    1. COAs an aside, when you assign a bounty to a question that bounty will be taken from your reputation regardless of whether you assign it so it's a nice thing to do to follow through on it and allocate it to one of the answers that people give. Without doing that it simply evaporates

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
