We have had several issues over the years related to FactoryBot.aliases: #522 #734 #851 #989 #1096 #1138, #1417. In most of these issues people do not realize that factory_bot assumes{attribute}_id will be the foreign key of an {attribute} ActiveRecord association.

At the very least I think we need better documentation around this. We could probably also offer better configuration for this, and maybe move anything specific to ActiveRecord into factory_bot_rails.
