Factory Girl reference parent

I have a Factory like this:

FactoryGirl.define do
    factory :subject do
      name 'Calculus'
    end
end

And I would like to reference that his parent is 'Maths' which parent is null. How should I do that?

If I understand the question correctly, you can specify a parent as an option to the factory method:

FactoryGirl.define do
  factory :subject do
    name 'Subject'
  end

  factory :maths, :parent => :subject do
    name 'Maths'
  end

  factory :calculus, :parent => :maths do
    name 'Calculus'
  end
end

This is a fairly contrived example since the child factories override the inherited name attribute, but does that answer your question?
