Factory girl associations and rspec

Hi,

I am trying to test factory girl associations basically I have a user model and status model , what is supposed to happen is a user has many statuses and a status belongs to a user. I have tried to model this in factory girl as you can see in the files. When I try to execute the test I get Failure/Error: visit("/users/#{user.id}/statuses/#{status.id}")      ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound:        Couldn't find Status with id=2 [WHERE `statuses`.`user_id` = 1] when I run the request spec for statuses. What should I change to get this test to pass.

That’s because users are actually different. To fix this you need to pass a user record into the FactoryGirl’s create method.

let(:user) {FactoryGirl.create(:user)}

let(:status) {FactoryGirl.create(:status, user: user)}
