You can also use sequences, like so:
sequence :date do |n|
(n % 10).days.ago
end
This will go 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1… You get the picture.
What Adam is saying about using a set up method is also really solid. The
last thing I’d ask is - can you break your test down a little more so that you
don’t need quite so much data just to have a single valid data piece to test
against?
Best,

just a quick clarification... on the first line of code, what I actually have
is:
FactoryGirl.define do
I just wanted to clarify that I can, at least, start out a factory correctly ;)
Thanks,

Hello all,
I'm relatively new to testing and this has been tripping me up for a bit.
I'm working in a code base that contains a Calendar Model (only contains a date
field) which is used to help find other data from models with an SQL join for
relevant date-ranges.
I need to create a FactoryGirl factory which will be about 10 days worth of
sequential dates (10 days back from whatever today's date is) so that I can use
that to help test a method on another model which needs to join with the
Calendar dates in order to find what it needs.
So, the problem is that I cannot seem to figure out how to create a factory
that loops through a set range of things. Using sequence doesn't seem to work
with a range and the blocks I've been using are just plain wrong. Please help.
I've been doing things like:
FactoryGirl.define
factory :calander do
factory :dates do |d|
10.times do
d = 10
date {d.days.ago}
d -= 1
end
end
end
end
but this is clearly wrong...I guess I'm very confused about FactoryGirl in
general
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Megan
