Need factory to auto-create an invitation

gistfile1.rb

#USER MODEL [just the relevant parts]
has_many :sent_invitations, :class_name=>"Invitation", :foreign_key=>:sender_id
validate :check_for_invitation, :on=>:create

private
def check_for_invitation
  errors.add :email, 'has not been invited' unless Gxtended::Invitation.where(:recipient_email=>email).exists?
end

#INVITATION MODEL
class Invitation < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :sender, :class_name => "User"
  
  validates :sender, :presence => true
  validates :recipient_email, :presence => true, :uniqueness=>true
  validate :recipient_is_not_registered
  
  before_create :generate_token, :only=>[:create]
  before_create :set_sent_at, :only=>[:create]
  
  private
    def generate_token
      self.token = Digest::SHA1.hexdigest([Time.now, rand].join)
    end
    
    def recipient_is_not_registered
      errors.add :recipient_email, 'is already registered' if Gxtended::User.find_by_email(recipient_email)
    end
    
    def set_sent_at
      sent_at = Time.now
    end
end

#SAMPLE FROM SPECS
  before(:each) do
    @user = FactoryGirl.create(:user)
    @admin = FactoryGirl.create(:admin)
    @url = FactoryGirl.create(:url)
  end

#FACTORIES
factory :invite, :class => Gxtended::Invitation do
  recipient_email "[email protected]"
end

  factory :admin, :class => Gxtended::User do
    sequence(:username) { |n| "admin#{n}" } 
    sequence(:email) { |n| "admin#{n}@example.com" }
    password   'password'
    password_confirmation { |u| u.password }
    dob "1980-01-01" 
    role { Gxtended::Role[:admin] }
  end
  factory :user, :class => Gxtended::User do
    sequence(:username) { |n| "username#{n}" } 
    sequence(:email) { |n| "user#{n}@example.com" }
    password   'password'
    password_confirmation { |u| u.password }
    dob "1980-01-01"
  end

Awesome! - jesse
