There was a problem hiding this comment.
This should probably be implemented in the factory_bot gem instead, so I'll open another PR for that if there's any interest here.

Loading factory definitions can sometimes have a noticeable impact on Rails boot time: For example, in a large app I work on
FactoryBot.find_definitionstakes an average of 0.3s to load 274 factories. An option to lazy load them would avoid this overhead when factories are not needed.The new
lazy_load_definitionsoption is disabled by default for compatibility reasons, but all tests pass for bothfactory_botandfactory_bot_railswhen enabled. The railtie will also continue to load all factory definitions at boot ifconfig.eager_loadis enabled in the application.
