Rails 5 rspec - convert object to ActiveRecord Relation-CodePudding

I have method that use .ids for ActiveRecord array. Something like that:

def exmpale(array)
  method2(array.ids)
end

Now I want to create tests for this method, but when I create objects by FactoryBot I dont get ActiveRecord array. For example:

let(:array) { FactoryBot.create(:class_example) }

I can use ClassExample.where to get have ActiveRecord Relation, but Im not sure it's good idea. Is there any other soultion without changing method?

CodePudding user response：

The simple way to do it is to use create_list and return an ActiveRecord relation, but if I were you I'd rethink it to use stubs.

let(:array) do
  list = create_list(:class_example, 4)
  ClassExample.where(id: list.map(&:id))
end
