It currently refers to a reverted option called inverse_of. It needs to be rewritten to explain how to manually prevent that scenario.

When I use attributes_for for a complex object, the complex object is not converted to a hash. For example:

class Order
  attr_accessor productType
  attr_accessor quoteRef
  attr_accessor allocations
  attr_accessor marketPrice
end

class Allocation
  attr_accessor account
  attr_accessor notionalAmount
end

class MarketPrice
  attr_accessor id
  attr_accessor prices
end

Fabricator :order do
  productType "Product"
  quoteRef ""
  allocations(count: 1, fabricator: :allocation)
  marketPrice(fabricator: :market_price)
end

Fabricator :allocation do
  account "10009-1"
  notionalAmount 500000.0
end

Fabricator :market_price do |f|
  f.id ""
  prices [85.7]
end

Fabricator.attributes_for(:order_do, :quoteRef=> 'olalala') = Hash (4 element(s))
  productType -> Product
  quoteRef -> olalala
  allocations = Array(1 element(s))
    [0] = {Allocation} #<Allocation:0x1140ecf2>
  marketPrice_id' ->

It is a bit annoying. Separately, I cannot use the word 'id' as an attribute, code in definition.rb:127 if value && value.respond_to?(:id) hardcodes the :id symbol and the object doesn't get parsed any further.

P.S. I am using fabricator 2.5.0, as 2.5.1 doesn't work. manager.rb [](name) tries to do a name.try(:to_sym) on a symbol, but name is already a symbol and doesn't have the try method... at least in my jruby 1.7

One of my models has an 'alias' attribute. How would I define that attribute in a fabricator? If I do so with the normal block syntax, ruby gets confused because 'alias' is actually a ruby keyword.

That conveyor is cute and all, but I find it distracting. A pause or stop button would be awesome.

Using Rails 3.1.3 and test/unit the following syntax from the Fabrication site no longer works:

config.generators do |g|
  g.fixture_replacement :fabrication, :dir => "test/fabricators"
end

To get things to work properly I'm having to use the following config:

config.generators do |g|
  g.test_framework :test_unit, :fixture_replacement => :fabrication
  g.fixture_replacement :fabrication, :dir => "test/fabricators"
end

I'm not 100% sure this is exactly the right way to specify the config but it seems to be the only way to get it working in Rails 3.1.3.

Without knowing the exact thinking and idea behind every part of fabrications it's sometimes hard to guess what some of the example code will actually do.

For better/easier/faster understanding I'd suggest to add some sections like "this should return..."
To keep documentation clean they could be hidden by default.

I might write something down if you like the idea.

Hey again.

I guess the fault is on my side but I don't know where else to ask:
Here is the code:

Fabricator(:ad) do
    # If I use Fabricate.sequence(:ad) { |i| "test_ad_#{i}" }
    # on the rails console it works perfectly.
    # Using it in a fabricator like below does not unfortunately.
    name { sequence(:ads) { |i| "test_ad_#{i}" } }  
end

When using Fabricate(:ad) two times on the console it'll throw an error:

ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid: Database entry invalid: Name is already taken 

PS: Are there any other places to ask for help than via Github issues?

This is my Fabricator:

Fabricator(:user_with_specific_time, from: :user) do
  transient :time_elapsed
  scores    { |attrs| {Fabricate.build(:score, user: nil, time_elapsed: attrs[:time_elapsed]) } }
end

Fabricator(:score) do
   time_elapsed { rand(400) }
   user { Fabricate :user, user_id: nil}
end

u = Fabricate(:user_with_specific_time, time_elapsed: 1)
u.scores

[#<Score id: 23, time_elapsed: nil, user_id: 16, created_at: "2013-09-30 22:12:53", updated_at: "2013-09-30 22:12:53">]

As you can see, time_elapsed keeps nil

How did I get this working?

Sorry for my - maybe stupid - approach
