New RF library for generating random test data

[Guy Kisel]

All I've really done is taken the wonderful faker module and wrapped it for Robot Framework. Let me know what you think!

Hi,

Could you point me to the right direction to Keywords list / documentations for this library?

Thanks in advance

[Jerry Schneider]

easiest way, it appears, is to do a git clone of the repo and look in the doc directory.

Hi!

What is the best mechanism to add own fake providers working with faker library in RobotFramework?

Regards 

[Guy Kisel]

Generating documentation using libdoc is on my to-do list. For now, you can just use the documentation from faker itself.

[Guy Kisel]

I have not tested this myself, but it should be very similar to adding a custom provider to faker, except that you'd pass it to robotframework-faker instead.

    def __init__(self, locale=None, providers=None, seed=None):
        global _fake
        _fake = faker.Factory.create(locale, providers)
        if seed:
            _fake.seed(seed)

How I can pass arguments to the robotframework-faker Library import:

* Library           FakerLibrary    de_DE  ---> works as expected

* Library           FakerLibrary    locale=de_DE   ---> works as expected

but with following I got errors:

* Library           FakerLibrary    seed=124  ---> Initializing test library 'FakerLibrary' with arguments [ seed=124 ] failed: AttributeError: Invalid configuration for faker locale "seed=124"

* Library           FakerLibrary    locale=de_DE    seed=124  --->  Test Library 'FakerLibrary' got positional argument after named arguments.

* Library           FakerLibrary    locale=de_DE    \    seed=124  --->  Test Library 'FakerLibrary' got positional argument after named arguments.

* Library           FakerLibrary    locale=de_DE    providers=None    seed=124 --->  Test Library 'FakerLibrary' got positional argument after named arguments.

That's strange, this should work. I'll look into it and get back to you. Thanks for reporting this.

I am unable to reproduce this issue. The import strings you provided below work just fine for me. Can you provide more information on your version of robotframework-faker and other installed libraries/tools? I've opened a ticket at https://github.com/guykisel/robotframework-faker/issues/4

This is very late, but I've put documentation online. https://guykisel.github.io/robotframework-faker/
