require 'spec_helper'

# -------------------------------------------------
# Just build a model instance using a factory
# and assert that it is valid
# 
#  Model => model class
#  @base_model => model instance
#  :model => factory name
#  
#  Note:
#  config.include FactoryGirl::Syntax::Methods
#  must be in the spec_helper.rb
# -------------------------------------------------

describe Model do
  	before do
		@base_model = build(:model)
