How do I use Factory girl to create a company?

I have this factory

FactoryGirl.define do
  factory :user do
    email               { Faker::Internet.email }
    first_name          { Faker::Name.first_name }
    last_name           { Faker::Name.last_name }
    password            { 'TarXlrOPfaokNOzls2U8' }
  end
end

Which worked great until I added the association validation 

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :companies, :through => :positions
  has_many :positions
  validates_presence_of :company

How do I add to my factory to achieve this

I tried this

 association :company, factory: :company, strategy: :build

But all my tests are failing with 

 undefined method `company=' for #<User:0x007fcd7c13c260>

any help would be appreciated

Have you tried simply?

FactoryGirl.define do
  factory :user do
    email               { Faker::Internet.email }
    first_name          { Faker::Name.first_name }
    last_name           { Faker::Name.last_name }
    password            { 'TarXlrOPfaokNOzls2U8' }
    companies           { [Factory(:company, strategy: build)] }
  end
end

You'll want a factory for company, user and position, than override the defaults as necessary:

  factory :position do
    user
    company
  end
  factory :company do
    #company stuff
  end

  user = create(:user)
  company = create(:company)
  postion = create(:position, user: user, company: company)
  user.company.should eq company

If you want to have 1 company per user then you need to use belongs_to :company in the User model instead of an has_many. If you really want to have many companies per user, see this answer.
