rspec with factory girl

I have the following factories:

Factory.define :producer, :class => User do |f|
  f.sequence(:email) { |n| "producer_#{n}@shit.com" }
  f.password  "foobar"
  f.password_confirmation "foobar"
  f.role      "producer"
end

Factory.define :business do |f|
  f.sequence(:name) { |n| "business_#{n}" }
  f.association(:producer, :factory => :producer)
end

Factory.define :deal do |d| 
  d.sequence(:title) { |n| "deal_#{n}" }
  d.sequence(:desc) { |n| "deal_desc_#{n}" }
  d.cap "50" 
  d.rate "2" 
  d.start Date.today - 1     # This is the date where you put in db
  d.end Date.today + 7
  d.association :business
end

now when I do the following: 

  before(:each) do 
    @consumer = test_sign_in(Factory(:consumer))
    @deal = Factory(:deal)
  end

I am getting an error:

 Failure/Error: @deal = Factory(:deal)
 NoMethodError:
   undefined method `producer=' for #<Business:0x007fb494290090>
 # ./deals_controller_spec.rb:15:in `block (4 levels) in <top (required)>

(Line 15 refers to @deal = Factory(:deal) )

Does anyone know why? I am very new to factory girl and I can't seem to find the documentation explaining association and sequence very well.

The problem here is obviously linked to the creation of your producer association.

Since you're using the old dsl, I'd suggest two solutions:

Factory.define :business do |f|
  f.sequence(:name) { |n| "business_#{n}" }
  #try this:
  f.association(:user, :factory => :producer)
  #or this:
  f.after_build { |biz| biz.user = Factory.build(:producer) }
end

The use of after_build or after_create is really a matter of choice, depending on your tests purposes.

Here is a link to the new dsl lookup.
