Factory.define :person do |f|
  f.first_name {"MyString"}
  f.middle_name {"MyString"}
  f.last_name {"MyString"}
end

Factory.define :address do |f|
  f.person_id {1}
  f.address {"MyString"}
  f.zip {"94587"}
  f.city {"MyString"}
  f.state {"MyString"}
end



 you pass a block like this if you need reevaluation like when using a rand function or faker, it makes no sense to do it with a fixed value


f.address  ' foo'      is the same as  f.address { 'foo'  }


the first and second address created will have the same value in both cases

f.zip rand(1000)  the first and second record created will have the same value
f.zip { rand(1000) } each record will have a unique value



so you should add faker and then


f.city {Faker::Address.city}


will give you a differente city for each record
