FactoryGirl factory with Trait(s) that returns a Hash with stringed keys

I'm trying to use FactoryGirl to build a Hash that returns something like this:

 => {"3"=>"1", "6"=>"Word"}

I'm getting close but not 100% there yet...

The first factory definition i tried looked like this:

factory :faqtory, class: Hash do |f|
  f.ignore do
    fake_word Faker::Lorem.word
  end

  f.sequence(1.to_s) { |n| n }
  f.send(2.to_s,  fake_word.to_s.capitalize)

  initialize_with { attributes.stringify_keys }
end

Unfortunately this doesn't work: 

1.9.3p448 :001 > FactoryGirl.build :faqtory
ArgumentError: Trait not registered: fake_word

After that didn't work i assumed the call to fake_word needed to be in a block but that makes no difference.

Any suggestions?

Ignored attributes are defined as methods that you can use from other attributes. When referring to them, you need to define the dependent attributes using a block:

factory :faqtory, class: Hash do |f|
  f.ignore do
    fake_word { Faker::Lorem.word }
  end

  f.sequence(1.to_s) { |n| n }
  f.send(2.to_s) { fake_word.to_s.capitalize }

  initialize_with { attributes.stringify_keys }
end

Defining an attribute without a block only works for literal values like 1 or "hello".

Update

As mentioned in the comments, you probably want fake_word to use a block as well.

Try this. 

  factory :faqtory, class: Hash do |f|
    fake_word = Faker::Lorem.word

    f.sequence(1.to_s) { |n| n }
    f.send(2.to_s,  fake_word.to_s.capitalize)

    initialize_with { attributes.stringify_keys }
  end
