86 CHAPTER 4 Oh CRUD!
Aha! You’re now told there’s no such factory! Then you’d better get around to creating
one. You use these factories not only in your Cucumber features but also later in
your RSpec tests. Placing the factories inside the features directory isn’t fair to the
RSpec tests, and placing them inside the spec isn’t fair to the Cucumber tests. So
where do they go? Create a new folder at the root of your application for them, and
name it factories. Inside this directory, create your Project factory by creating a new
file called project_factory.rb and filling it with the following content:
Factory.define :project do |project|
project.name 'Ticketee'
end
This small snippet defines your project factory, which creates a new instance of the
Project class, defaulting the name attribute to Ticketee. These files aren’t going to
load themselves, so you must create a new file at features/support/factories.rb and put
this content in it:
Dir[Rails.root + "factories/*.rb"].each do |file|
require file
end
All .rb files in features/support are loaded automatically before Cucumber starts, so all
the files in the factories are required, and they define all the factories in the files.
With this factory defined, your feature should have nothing to whine about. Let’s
look at the following listing to see what happens now when you run bin/cucumber
features/viewing_projects.feature

Given there is a project called "TextMate 2"
And I am on the homepage
When I follow "TextMate 2"
no link with title, id or text 'TextMate 2' found ...
A link appears to be missing. You’ll add that right now.
4.1.3 Adding a link to a project
Capybara is expecting a link on the page with the words “TextMate 2” but can’t find it.
The page in question is the homepage, which is the index action from your
ProjectsController. Capybara can’t find it because you haven’t yet put it there,
which is what you’re going to do now. Open app/views/projects/index.html.erb, and
add the contents of the following listing underneath the first link.
