I am going through Michael Hartl's rails tutorial and getting spec validation errors in Chapter 10.1.4 even though I think I'm following the instructions.
I'm a Rails newbie but it looks like Factory Girl is trying to create a User that already exists, even though the following code is supposed to create a new micropost and assign it to an existing user:
FactoryGirl.create(:micropost, user: @user, created_at: 1.hour.ago)
Does anyone know how to fix the errors?
Errors
1) User micropost associations should have the right microposts in the right order Failure/Error: FactoryGirl.create(:micropost, user: @user, created_at: 1.hour.ago) ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid: Validation failed: User has already been taken # ./spec/models/user_spec.rb:159
2) User micropost associations should destroy associated microposts Failure/Error: FactoryGirl.create(:micropost, user: @user, created_at: 1.hour.ago) ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid: Validation failed: User has already been taken # ./spec/models/user_spec.rb:159
