Method: Factory.create

Defined in:
lib/factory_girl/factory.rb

.create(name, overrides = {}) ⇒ Object

Generates, saves, and returns an instance from this factory. Attributes can be individually overridden by passing in a Hash of attribute => value pairs.

Instances are saved using the save! method, so ActiveRecord models will raise ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid exceptions for invalid attribute sets.

Arguments:

  • name: Symbol or String The name of the factory that should be used.

  • overrides: Hash Attributes to overwrite for this instance.

Returns: Object A saved instance of the class this factory generates, with generated attributes assigned.
