How do I use factories from FactoryBot in rails console

factory-bot, ruby-on-rails

Solution

To solve this problem ensure that the factory bot gem is specifed in your Gemfile similar to this

group :development, :test do
  gem 'factory_bot_rails'
end

Then `bundle install`.

This should make FactoryBot class available in the development console.

Hope this helps.

Problem

I am using rails console in the development environment and I want to use factories. How can I get access to them? I have tried `require "FactoryBot"` which returns ``` 1.9.3p393 :301 > require "FactoryBot" LoadError: cannot load such file -- FactoryBot ```
