I tried whipping up an app with your code, the controller test passes fine for me, see if it works for you and compare.

I'm trying to create a `photo` factory that's in a many to one association with `gallery`. And I'm getting two errors, depending on how I specify the association between those two models.

Here's the models:

Photo

belongs_to :gallery, class_name: "SevenGallery::Gallery"

Gallery

 

has_many :photos, class_name: "SevenGallery::Photo", foreign_key: "seven_gallery_gallery_id", dependent: :destroy

And the migrations

   

create_table :seven_gallery_galleries do |t|
     t.string :title  
       t.timestamps null: false
    end
   
    create_table :seven_gallery_photos do |t|
       t.string :caption
       t.string :image
       t.references :seven_gallery_gallery, index: true
       t.timestamps null: false
     end


     add_foreign_key :seven_gallery_photos, :seven_gallery_galleries, on_delete: :cascade

Now Here's my factories:

**Gallery**: 

   

FactoryGirl.define do
      factory :gallery, class: 'SevenGallery::Gallery' do
        title "an event gallery"
        factory :gallery_with_photos do
       after(:build) do |gallery|
        gallery.photos << FactoryGirl.create(:photo_one, seven_gallery_gallery_id: gallery)
        gallery.photos << FactoryGirl.create(:photo_two, seven_gallery_gallery_id: gallery)
        gallery.photos << FactoryGirl.create(:photo_three, seven_gallery_gallery_id: gallery)
       end
        end
      end
    end

And **Photo**:

   

FactoryGirl.define do
      factory :photo, class: "SevenGallery::Photo" do
         
     factory :photo_one do
     end
   
     factory :photo_two do
     end
   
     factory :photo_three do
     end
   
     factory :photo_with_gallery do
      gallery
     end
      end
    end

And here's the controller spec that generates the error:

   

 it "changes is_main to true in self and false in rest" do
     photo_one = FactoryGirl.create(:photo_with_gallery)
     expect(photo_one.gallery).to be_a SevenGallery::Gallery
 end

Whenever I run the test I get this error:

   

Failure/Error: photo_one = FactoryGirl.create(:photo_with_gallery)
      ActiveModel::MissingAttributeError:
        can't write unknown attribute `gallery_id`
      # ./spec/controllers/seven_gallery/photos_controller_spec.rb:

When I change  the association part to be:

   

factory :photo_with_gallery do
      association :gallery, factory: gallery
    end

I get this error:

   

 Failure/Error: photo_one = FactoryGirl.create(:photo_with_gallery)
      NoMethodError:
         undefined method `name' for :photo_with_gallery:Symbol
       # ./spec/controllers/seven_gallery/photos_controller_spec.rb:8
