Do not allow Factory Girl usage in unit tests.

# This file is here to limit the use of factories to only integration tests and not unit tests.

# If you really want to use a factory you can add the tag :factories to a test

It seems as though you've tried to use a Factory Girl factory inside a unit test.
This is probably not a good idea, you should consider removing it.
Using factories means that your tests are no longer isolated so you're not really unit testing anymore.

If you REALLY want to keep it in your test, tag you test with :factories

Any complaints should be directed to Mario Visic (@mariovisic)}
