How to write the FactoryGirl configuartion for company.

Whenever company is create company_user is also created with user_id and company_id field. How can I achieve this?

I'm not able to understand to get it.

Answer 1

This is how I would do it:

factory :company do

  after(:build) do |company|
    company_users = build(:company_users, company: company)
    company.company_users << company_users
  end

end

factory :company_users do
  user
  company
end

Hope that's helpful.
