FactoryGirl not resetting for new column names

I've changed the name of a column in my database and have changed spec/factories.rb accordingly, however when I run my rspec tests, it's still trying to make use of the old column names. I've restarted the Ruby on Rails server, yet that doesn't fix it.

# Changed :height to :height_feet
# Added :height_inches


FactoryGirl.define do
  factory :user do
    ...
    height 180
  end
end

# Changed to:

FactoryGirl.define do
  factory :user do
    ...
    height_feet 5
    height_inches 11
  end
end

Yet when I run rspec spec/models the following line:

let(:user) { FactoryGirl.create(:user) }

produces the following error:

Failure/Error: let(:user) { FactoryGirl.create(:user) }
NoMethodError:
   undefined method `height' for #<User:0x0000000532fc08>

Any thoughts on how I can fix this?

I fixed this problem by upgrading to FactoryGirl 2.0.0 from FactoryGirl 1.4.0. From the troubleshooting link:

https://github.com/sporkrb/spork/wiki/Spork.trap_method-Jujitsu

Factory Girl 2 does not have the auto-loading issues of previous versions, so you do not need to do anything to get Spork to work.

It's your spork server you'll need to restart. I don't use guard so I'm not totally sure how, but have a look at this question, there is some other useful info on refreshing:
