Using Factory Girl with Rails 3

Setting up a new project, I couldn’t get FactoryGirl working. From the README:

If you want to use factory_girl with Rails 3, see http://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl_rails

I added this to my Gemfile:

gem 'factory_girl_rails'

A bundle install to install and done.

Note: I’m using rspec2 and putting my factories in spec/factories/*_factory.rb and I’ve seen references to spec/support/factories/*_factory.rb as well. I’m not sure if either is the blessed location.
