Factory Girl with Cross-Validating Attributes
November 06, 2008Just as a little background, I'm working on adding the concept of rounds to an application. A "round" is simply an organization unit with a start and end date. Each round has_many :events, and each event has an end date, defined as its moment of expiration. The validation logic for these two models is that an event's end date must be between the round's start/end dates and that rounds cannot overlap. This isn't an issue at all with things like fixtures since that's all manually specified. But I'm using FactoryGirl for generating my test data so things get a little tricky.
