Rspec - is invalid without a title

Hello i have a very simple Rspec test.

It was working until i used Factory Girl. I have tried so many ways to get it to pass.

I have been trying to get it pass for like 90 minutes its such a simple test.

Anyone know?

Here is error

 1) Size is invalid without a title
     Failure/Error: let(:size02) { FactoryGirl.create :size02 }
     ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid:
       Validation failed: Title can't be blank

This is the test

    require 'rails_helper'
    RSpec.describe Size, type: :model do

    let(:size01) { FactoryGirl.create :size01 }
    let(:size02) { FactoryGirl.create :size02 }
    let(:size03) { FactoryGirl.create :size03 }

    it "should have a matching title" do
        expect(size01.title).to eq("XXLarge")
    end

    it "is invalid without a title" do
      expect(size02).to be_invalid
    end

end

Factory Girl

FactoryGirl.define do

    factory :size01, :class => Size do
        title "XXLarge"
    end

    factory :size02, :class => Size do
        title ""
    end

    factory :size03, :class => Size do
        title "XXLarge"
    end

end

Factory Girl cannot create the instance size02, because it has no title and is therefore invalid. Try build instead of create, if you don't need persistence in your test:

let(:size02) { FactoryGirl.build :size02 }
