factory.DictFactory fixtures have incorrect names about pytest-factoryboy HOT 4 CLOSED

As a work around I use this method:

register(OAuthPayloadFactory, _name='o_auth_payload')

but it feels weird.

from pytest-factoryboy.

New workaround:

import factory
from mimesis_factory import MimesisField
from pytest_factoryboy import register

try:
    from mypy_extensions import TypedDict  # typechecks your dicts
except ImportError:
    TypedDict = dict   # does nothing


class GitlabUserPayload(TypedDict):
    """
    Gitlab API response for user endpoint request.

    We define this class here, since we do not actually use it in the code.
    """

    username: str
    email: str
    name: str


@register
class GitlabUserPayloadFactory(factory.BaseDictFactory):
    """Fake factory for Gitlab's user response."""

    class Meta:
        model = GitlabUserPayload

    username = MimesisField('username')
    email = MimesisField('email')
    name = MimesisField('full_name')

Actually the behaviour you are describing is not the bug. The name of the fixture by the convention, as stated in the docs is:

• for factory fixture: its lowercase-underscore class name
• for model fixture: its underlying model's lowercase-underscore class name (docs are not phrased well in this case)

So in first case there is no underlying model called OAuthPayload, therefore there is no model fixture called o_auth_payload as you would expect. The underlying model for this factory (as it is derived from factory.DictFactory) is dict as stated in DictFactory definition here. This means that the name of the model fixture would be dict in this case. That is exactly why example with GitlabUserPayload model works as you would expect it to.

Fixed in #167
