I'm updating my scripts that create a large dataset using factory boy.  For it it's really useful to be able to get (frequently) a count of the # of rows/instances that have been made for each model.

From the code 3 years ago I used to be able to access the _counter.seq to get the value that sequence is using.

this doesn't work anymore.  

I've tried changing it to 

cls._options_class._counter.seq

But this seems to get reset every time a new factory is kicked off.

Any advice/help would be much appreciated!

Hi,

There was a big refactor recently, which changed many internals/private APIs, hence the issue you're seeing.

You should still be able to access the counter by going through cls._meta._counter.seq (_options_class points to the uninstantiated class handling options).


Cheers,
