Has Many associations with Factory Girl

factory :account do
end

factory :user do 
  account
end

factory :user2 do 
  account
end


factory :location do
  // how to add to the users has_many collection?
end

My Location model has a has_many :users association, how can I add user and user2 to that collection in my factories?

Also when building an object graph, should factory_girl be used just to create an Account, User but not actually build the relation between the two? Should I be doing that myself in my tests or some kind of helper? Because say I want to create account1 and account2, and each account has a location. I have to build this object graph myself within my tests then right?

you can create 2 users at once:

factory :location do
  after(:create) do |location|
    create_list(:user, 2, location: location)
  end
end

You have to use the after callback:

factory :location do
  after(:create) do |location, evaluator|
    create(:user, location: location)
    create(:user2, location: location)
  end
end

See the documentation
