Title Body

I have 2 factories. Beta_user and Beta_invite. Basically before a Beta_user can validly save I have to create an entry of Beta_invite. Unfortunately these models don't have clean associations, but they do share an email field. Factory.sequence :email do |n| "email#{n}@factory.com" end #BetaInvite Factory.define :beta_invite do |f| f.email {Factory.next(:email)} f.approved false f.source "web" end #User Factory.define :user do |f| f.email {Factory.next(:email)} f.password "password" end #User => BetaUser Factory.define :beta_user, :parent => :user do |f| f.after_build do |user| if BetaInvite.find_by_email(user.email).nil? Factory(:beta_invite, :email => user.email) end end end So in the beta beta_user factory I am trying to use the after_build call back to create the beta_invite factory. However it seems to be acting async or something. Possibly doing the find_by_email fetch? If I try this: Factory(:beta_user) Factory(:beta_user) Factory(:beta_user) I get a failure stating that there is no record of a beta_invite with that users email. If instead I try: Factory.build(:beta_user).save Factory.build(:beta_user).save Factory.build(:beta_user).save I get better results. As if calling the .build method and waiting to save allows time for the beta_invite factory to be created. Instead of calling Factory.create directly. The docs say that in the case of calling Factory.create both the after_build and after_create callbacks get called. Any help is much appreciated. UPDATE: So the User model I am using does a before_validation call to the method that checks if there is a beta invite. If I move this method call to before_save instead. It works correctly. Is there something i'm over looking. When does factory_girl run the after_build</
