method_missing not picking up custom attributes?

[Fireborn Silvaranth]

Maybe I'm not getting something but I was looking at the method_missing documentation

 

 

(Object) method_missing(m, *args, &block)

 

You can add whatever you want to the locale file, and it will get caught here. E.g., in your locale file, create a

name:
  girls_name: ["Alice", "Cheryl", "Tatiana"]

Then you can call Faker::Name.girls_name and it will act like #first_name

I added Faker::Config.locale = :en to environment.rb   Added en:  company:   job_title: ["Accountant", "Customer Service Rep", "CEO"] to en.yml   attempted to call Faker::Company.job_title and get an undefined method 'job_title' error   Is this not correct?

Fireborn, the method, job_title, needs to be defined on the class, Faker::Company.  Are you working in a fork of the original project?

I figured this out.

You just need to add faker: above the custom lists in your locale file

In en.yml

en:
faker:

company:
job_title: ["Accountant", "Customer Service Rep", "CEO"]

Now calling Faker::Company.job_title will return one of the list entries.

The documentation was just lacking that one little line.
