Factory_bot: undefined method 'to_sym' for FactoryGirl::Declaration::Implicit

[subhashb]

Hi,

I am trying to use a factory with traits in a rubygem (non-rails environment), and I am getting this error:

1) Footprint::Model with tracking enabled while walking will leave an impression when born
     Failure/Error: yeti = FactoryGirl.create(:yeti)
     NoMethodError:
       undefined method `to_sym' for #<FactoryGirl::Declaration::Implicit:0x007fb982ba18d0>
     # ./spec/footprint/track_spec.rb:13:in `block (5 levels) in <top (required)>'

Spec is:

context "while walking" do
  context "will leave an impression" do
    it "when born" do
      yeti = FactoryGirl.create(:yeti)
    end
  end
end

And the factory is:

FactoryGirl.define do
  factory :yeti do
    sequence(name)  { |n| "Yeti#{n}" }
    notes           "Yet to Start Tracking"
    region          "Himalayas"

    trait :male do
      gender        "Male"
    end
    trait :female do
      gender        "Female"
    end

    factory :male_yeti, traits: [:male]
    factory :female_yeti, traits: [:female]

  end
end

I am sure this is a trivial issue. Can somebody point me in the right direction?
I am using factory_girl (4.1.0).

My bad... Found the problem.
sequence(name) should be sequence(:name)

@subhashb yep, that's exactly what I was going to say! Nice catch!
