I want to change the location of my plants, how can I get Rails to know a new place when generating?

Question

I am using rails 3.2.0.rc1 and factory_girl_rails

I want the location of my plants to be RAILS_ROOT/factories instead of RAILS_ROOT/specs/factories

When I use Rails generators, I know that it creates factories by default, how can I tell Rails where to put them?

Answer 1

factory_girl_rails configures application generators with a specs / factory loop. Cm

You can override this in the initializer:

 YourAppName::Application.config.app_generators do |g| g.fixture_replacement :factory_girl, :dir => 'factories' end
