tiny new tool for making sample objects for tests

[Chris Withers]

Hi All,

I've just released this tiny library for making sample objects for testing.

Here's a SQLAlchemy example:

class Parent(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'parent'
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    child_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('child.id'))
    child = relationship('Child')

class Child(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'child'
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    value = Column(Integer)

Now we can build a source of sample data:

from chide.sqlalchemy import C
 o
llection

samples = Collection({
    Parent: {'id': 1, 'child': Child},
    Child: {'id': 3, 'value': 42}
})

And finally, we can use it:

>>> session = Sess
 i
on()
>>> session.add(samples.make(Parent))
>>> session.commit()
>>> session.query(Parent).one()
<Parent ...>
>>> _.child
<Child ...>

Hope this helps, if anyone finds bugs or has suggestions, please mail me! cheers, Chris
