FactoryGirl: attributes_for not giving me associated attributes

Solution
You can try something like this:
(Factory.build :code).attributes.symbolize_keys

Problem
I have a Code model factory like this: ``` Factory.define :code do |f| f.value "code" f.association :code_type f.association(:codeable, :factory => :portfolio) end ``` But when I test my controller with a simple test_should_create_code like this: ``` test "should create code" do assert_difference('Code.count') do post :create, :code => Factory.attributes_for(:code) end assert_redirected_to code_path(assigns(:code)) end ``` ... the test fails. The new record is not created. In the console, it seems that `attributes_for` does not return all required attributes like the create does. ``` rob@compy:~/dev/my_rails_app$ rails console test Loading test environment (Rails 3.0.3) irb(main):001:0> Factory.create(:code) => #<Code id: 1, code_type_id: 1, value: "code", codeable_id: 1, codeable_type: "Portfolio", created_at: "2011-02-24 10:42:20", updated_at: "2011-02-24 10:42:20"> irb(main):002:0> Factory.attributes_for(:code) => {:value=>"code"} ``` Any ideas? Thanks,
