FactoryBot ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid: Validation failed: Year is required

Question

When I run my rspec test I receive validation error year is required, but in my factory I set year value. I don't know why I receive this error.

FactoryBot.define do
  factory :syllabus do
    year  { 2019 } 
    cycle_academic { "1" }
    modality { "presencial" }
    syllabus_content { "{}" }
    association :doc_template 
    association :user 
    association :curriculum_course
    association :cycle 
    credits { 4 }
    weekly_hours { 5 }

    trait :syllabus_estrategia do
      course { :estrategia }
    end

    trait :syllabus_ingles1 do
      course { :ingles1 }
    end

    trait :syllabus_ingles2 do
      course { :ingles2 }
    end

    trait :syllabus_matematica do
      course { :matematica }
    end    
  end
end

In my rspec file I invoque this factory with this line

it "order to approver" do 
  syllabus_general =  FactoryBot.create(:syllabus) 
end

Could one of the associated models also require a year (and its factory not be providing one)? — smathy
@smathy you were right . In my model associated i dont set a value of year . Its works now. Thank you. Please Can you place your answer to be able to accept it and earn your points?. — HalleyRios

There's nothing wrong with the year value in the factory you've displayed, so my guess would be that one of the associated models you have in this factory also requires a year and the default factory for that other model doesn't provide it.

With factories always be thinking what other things are happening.
