Research direction

Start with factories.rb and the require of spree/testing_support/factories, then compare factory loading when RSpec or Cucumber runs directly versus through Spring. Reproduce with the listed Ruby, Rails, Spring, and FactoryGirl versions; done means the user factory is registered and usable under Spring as it is in the direct test runs.

Description

bug

On an application that use Spree (for e-commerce), to use the factories, we do in factories.rb :

require "spree/testing_support/factories"

Factories work with launching Rspec and Cucumber directly but with Spring, it fails with:

ArgumentError:
   Factory not registered: user

I suspect this is related to engines because on another app with factories from an engine, we have the same error.
