Unable to use factory girl with Cucumber and rails 3 (bundler problem)

Question

Hi there,

I'm trying to run cucumber features with factory girl factories on a fresh Rails 3 application.

Here is my Gemfile:

source "http://gemcutter.org"
gem "rails", "3.0.0.beta"
gem "pg"
gem "factory_girl", :git => "git://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl.git", :branch => "rails3"
gem "rspec-rails", ">= 2.0.0.beta.4"
gem "capybara"
gem "database_cleaner"
gem "cucumber-rails", :require => false

Then the bundle install commande just runs smoothly:

$ bundle install
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/bundler-0.9.3/lib/bundler/installer.rb:81:Warning: Gem::Dependency#version_requirements is deprecated and will be removed on or after August 2010.  Use #requirement

Do I have to do something special for bundler to check out factory girl's repository on github?

Answer 1

Have you tried to run bundle pack ?

Answer 2

Ok I found the problem. I was running bundler 0.9.3. Upgrading to 0.9.13 and running 'bundle install` fixed everything.

Answer 3

on a side note you may want to include 'factory_girl_rails' instead of factory_girl in your gemfile

as this is a fix for rails 3 we found that although our factories worked with cucumber they didnt work with test:unit until we had this gem
