@Ryan have you used FG with the machinist syntax?
i.e. take a look at the "Alternate Syntaxes" section in here: http://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl Do you know if FG still suffers from the same issues under the hood once you switch syntaxes? I'll probably spike this anyway but I'm just curious if you've already played with it. @Pat Machinist v2 sounds interesting! Are there any blog posts out there with details about it? Thanks, Jono.
