rspec users - Mar 2012 - tests using factorygirl

I''m trying to use factory for a test case, but the model I am creating
via
the factory depends on another model, how do you setup a factory like this?

Model Account has a location_id attribute (where Location is another model)

So how do I set it?

FactoryGirl..... do

  location_id  ????????/

end

Here is the relevant documentation:

http://rdoc.info/github/thoughtbot/factory_girl/file/GETTING_STARTED.md#Associations

Or if it already exists you might try:

FactoryGirl.define :account do
  location { Location.where("city = ?",
''Austin'').first }
end

(The code in the block just needs to return a single Location, and since
it''s run within a block it''s delayed until the spec is run,
rather than at
load time.)
