Rspec - uninitialized constant error User

Question

I have written tests on Rspec for my model User and get error while starting 'rspec spec'

NameError: uninitialized constant User

my test spec/models/ivd/user_spec.rb

require 'rails_helper'

module Ivd
  RSpec.describe User, type: :model do
    let(:user) { FactoryGirl.create(:ivd_user, email: "[email protected]", password: "very-secret", admin: true) }
    it 'has a valid factory' do
      expect(user).to be_valid
    end
    describe '.find_for_oauth' do
      let!(:user) { FactoryGirl.create(:ivd_user) }

      describe 'twitter' do
        let(:auth) { OmniAuth::AuthHash.new({provider: 'twitter', uid: '12345'})}

        context 'user has already authorization' do
          it 'return user' do
            user.identities.create({provider: 'twitter', uid: '12345'})
            expect(User.find_for_oauth(auth)).to eq user
          end
        end
      end

    end

  end
end

I have model User, which has been inherited from ApplicationRecord.

File .rspec contains only:

--color --require byebug --require rails_helper

Answer 1

Is your model itself within the module Ivd? i.e.

module Ivd
  class User

If so, you want to be using RSpec.describe Ivd::User rather than wrapping the call in the module.
