Rails rake db:seed and FactoryGirl not getting along

Trying to use FactoryGirl to seed my development db with some data. Following this tutorial so my seeds.rb file looks like this:

require 'factory_girl'
Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/factories/*.rb")].each {|f| require f}

100.times do
  FactoryGirl.create :idea
end

When running rake db:seed it complains: 

rake aborted!
Factory already registered: idea

Why is it a bad thing that the factory is registered? I'm trying to use it, not register it (whatever that means...). Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Most likely your factories are already being loaded. Try removing the line that does each of the requires and see if that corrects the issue.
