Awesome linter for FactoryBot

This gem enhances FactoryBot linter

• it wraps factories creation:

  • within DatabaseCleaner if present
  • within ActiveRecord within transaction if DatabaseCleaner is not present but ActiveRecord is

• it displays a progress bar and quickly display failures (just like fuubar)

• it shows backtraces when factories failed

• it lints all factories and traits by default

• it allows easy selection of factories

• it reloads cached factories before each run

Add these line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'factory_bot-awesome_linter'

Just run:

FactoryBot::AwesomeLinter.lint!

All factories are included by default. You can select factories to lint by passing their names, a regexp, or factories:

FactoryBot::AwesomeLinter.lint!(:user)
FactoryBot::AwesomeLinter.lint!(:user, :account)
FactoryBot::AwesomeLinter.lint!(/^new_/)

factories_to_lint = FactoryBot.factories.reject do |factory|
  factory.name =~ /^old_/
end

FactoryBot::AwesomeLinter.lint!(*factories_to_lint)

All traits are included by default.
You can exclude them:

FactoryBot::AwesomeLinter.lint!(traits: false)

Default linting strategy is :create.
You can specify another or multiple strategies used for linting:

FactoryBot::AwesomeLinter.lint!(strategy: :build)
FactoryBot::AwesomeLinter.lint!(strategy: %i[create build_stubbed])

All arguments can be combined:

FactoryBot::AwesomeLinter.lint!(:user, strategy: :build, traits: false)

Create the following task in lib/tasks/factory_bot.rake

namespace :factory_bot do
  desc "Verify that all FactoryBot factories are valid"
  task lint: :environment do
    if Rails.env.test?
      abort unless FactoryBot::AwesomeLinter.lint!
    else
      puts "Wrong environment detected to run factory_bot:lint"
      puts "Running `bundle exec bin/rails factory_bot:lint RAILS_ENV='test'` instead"

      system("bundle exec bin/rails factory_bot:lint RAILS_ENV='test'")
      exit $CHILD_STATUS.exitstatus
    end
  end
end

Then run :

bundle exec bin/rails factory_bot:lint RAILS_ENV='test'
