Using with factory-girl or machinist

But you’re using Machinist or FactoryGirl right?! To leverage all of the factories/blueprints you’ve written, you can just do stuff like

Given a user exists
And another user exists with role: "admin"

# later
Then a user should exist with name: "Fred"
And that user should be activated # this uses rspec predicate matchers

Machinist: require your blueprints and reset Shams

In your features/support/env.rb add the following lines at the bottom

require "#{Rails.root}/spec/blueprints" # or wherever they live
Before { Sham.reset } # reset Shams in between scenarios

FactoryGirl: make sure factories are loaded

In your config/environments/cucumber.rb file, make sure the factory-girl gem is included (unless it’s installed as a plugin).

If that doesn’t solve loading issues then require your factories.rb file directly in a file called ‘features/support/factory_girl.rb’

# example features/support/factory_girl.rb
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../../spec/factories'
