Creating a factory as a different class in Ruby with FactoryGirl

I have some ActiveRecord superclass Product and a subclass DiscountedProduct that share the same table and I have some factories for the superclass that I want to use with the subclass.

Factory(:product).class #=> Product

What I am trying to find is a shorthand for:

DiscountedProduct.create(Factory.build(:product).attributes)

NOTICE: I don't use Factory.attributes_for so that the needed associations get built.

Well, seems factory_girl supports quite well the inheritance.

You can define your factory either way :

  • As a nested definition

    factory :product do
  name 'Product name'

  factory :discounted_product do
    discounted true
  end
end

  • or as a linked definition

    factory :discounted_product :parent => :product do
  approved true
end
