Factories Depending On Database Records
^^^^^
**Definition:**

* Adding a hard dependency on specific database records in factory definitions leads to build failures in CI environment.


**Code Example:**

.. code-block:: ruby

  factory :active_schedule do
    start_date Date.current - 1.month
    end_date 1.month.since(Date.current)
    processing_status "processed"
    schedule_duration ScheduleDuration.find_by_name("Custom")
  end
