How can I generate a FactoryGirl file into an specific folder?

I'm using rspec with factory_girl but when I run

rails g rspec:model catalog/product_type

I get this:

create spec/models/catalog/product_type_spec.rb

invoke factory_girl

create spec/factories/catalog_product_type.rb

but factory_girl doesn't generate the file in the catalog folder, instead it set catalog has part of the file name so I want to generate the factory_girl file just like it is generated in the spec file

Insted of this:

create spec/factories/catalog_product_type.rb

I want this

create spec/factories/catalog/product_type.rb

You can specify the default directory for your factories in your development.rb configuration file:

config.generators do |g|
  g.factory_girl dir: 'spec/factories/catalog/'
end

config.generators is part of Rails can is a common pattern for defining generator paths for other gems/libraries as well.

For more options on FactoryGirl generator config you can see the source here:

And the docs:
