Spree test environment setting with rspec, factory_girl_rails and spring

README.md

Environment

• rspec-rails (3.3.3)
• factory_girl_rails (4.5.0)
• spring (1.4.0)
• spring-commands-rspec (1.0.4)

Problem

• spring rspec generates errors with spree-generated-factories when it is used the way like require 'spree/testing_support/factories')

Solution

• There is already a solution by @derekprior (spree/spree#6534)
• Use load instead of require

rails_helper.rb

...
require 'spec_helper'
require 'rspec/rails'
require 'ffaker' # important. spree-generated-factories require this.
...

spec_factories.rb

load 'spree/testing_support/factories.rb'

If you find yourself with factories not defined error when using this technique with Spring, try to require factory_girl inside rails_helper.rb file.

# in Gemfile
gem 'factory_girl_rails', require: false

# in rails_helper.rb
require 'factory_girl_rails'
