Loading/defining fabricators in plugins

Development

Are there any examples of plugins defining Fabricators?

I found something here that may be relevant: How to lazy load fabricators · Issue #167 · paulelliott/fabrication · GitHub

It says that it clears existing fabricators…

It’s actually quite simple. :slight_smile:

  • add spec/plugin_helper.rb to your plugin if you haven’t got that already.
  • create a folder spec/fabricators and add your factories in there
  • require the *rb files in plugin_helper.rb

I had a need to define custom fabricators in my plugin as well and was surprised that we don’t already have proper support for it.

Once the above PR has been merged, your fabricators will automatically be required as long as they exists in the plugin’s spec/fabricators folder.
