In a way, I'm glad I let my #RSpec book grow stale for as long as I did. It’s enlightening to reflect on coding/testing habits I had 5+ years ago vs. now.

I'm making updates accordingly—breaking up larger chapters/concepts into shorter, simpler takes. Reordering content so readers can be productive in their own codebases sooner.

Anyway, next batch of updates coming this week, I hope, with some streamlined advice on getting started with #FactoryBot. Stay tuned, friends! https://leanpub.com/everydayrailsrspec

I was surprised to find our FactoryBot factory files being loaded in development environment. Turns out to be because we include the factory_bot_rails gem in the development group, so we can use the rails generators it provides.

The factory_bot_rails Readme mentions how to stop factories being autoloaded in development environment: https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_bot_rails#automatic-factory-definition-loading #rails #factorybot

@searls has a free-as-in-puppy open source opportunity for the person who can give it a good home. We Rate Dogs would give test_data an 11/10: unique personality, super fast, and this Ruby gem gets along well with everyone.

Consider it a reference implementation for a pattern that every web application framework should consider adopting. If that sounds intriguing maybe you're the one who should adopt test_data 🐶
