Create Multiple Factories for User

Question

Earlier I was having single factory for user and it worked fine.

But now, I want two sets of factories for user's data , one with encrypted details and other one with plain text user details.

This is the code I am using:

FactoryBot.define do
  factory :user do
   trait :encryption do 
    email                 AESCrypt.encrypt(Faker::Internet.email, ENV["AES_KEY"])
    password              AESCrypt.encrypt("password", ENV["AES_KEY"])
    password_confirmation AESCrypt.encrypt("password",ENV["AES_KEY"])
    username              Faker::Name.name 
    end

   trait :unencrypted_user_details do
    email                 Faker::Internet.email
    password              "password"
    password_confirmation "password"
    username              Faker::Name.name 
   end
 end
end

And using the same as in spec file:

user = FactoryBot.create(:user,:unencrypted_user_details)

But I am getting the following error while running the spec:

NoMethodError:
   undefined method `name=' for #<User:0x00000006d512f8>

The User model does not have a field "name" instead "username" is there.

    get :generate_pin

    response_json = JSON.parse(response.body)

    expect(response_json["response_code"]).to eq(200)
  end
end

Controller Code

def generate_pin
phone = ValidatePhone.find_by(phone_no: @client.phone_no)

phone.present? ? phone.update_attributes(is_verified: true) : ValidatePhone.create(phone_no: @client.phone_no)
sms_text = "Hello"
send_sms(@client.phone_no,sms_text)
render :json => {
        :response_code => 200,
        :response_message => "Welcome Onboard."
    }

end

Is this the correct way to create multiple factories and why am I getting this error undefined method name?

Answer 1

This is not the way to create variable factories. You must use brackets for fields on which value is the result fo a call:

FactoryBot.define do
  factory :user do
   trait :encryption do 
    email    { AESCrypt.encrypt(Faker::Internet.email, ENV["AES_KEY"]) }
    password { AESCrypt.encrypt("password", ENV["AES_KEY"]) }
    password_confirmation { AESCrypt.encrypt("password",ENV["AES_KEY"]) }
    username { Faker::Name.name }
  end

  trait :unencrypted_user_details do
    email                 { Faker::Internet.email }
    password              "password"
    password_confirmation "password"
    username              { Faker::Name.name }
   end
 end
end
