Usage examples ¶

With `Faker`¶

One way ¶

from faker import Faker
from faker_file.providers.txt_file import TxtFileProvider

FAKER = Faker()

file = TxtFileProvider(FAKER).txt_file()

Or another ¶

from faker import Faker
from faker_file.providers.txt_file import TxtFileProvider

FAKER = Faker()
FAKER.add_provider(TxtFileProvider)

file = FAKER.txt_file()

With `factory_boy`¶

upload/models.py ¶

from django.db import models

class Upload(models.Model):

    # ...
    file = models.FileField()

upload/factory.py ¶

Note, that when using faker-file with Django, you need to pass your MEDIA_ROOT setting as root_path value (which is by default set to tempfile.gettempdir()).

import factory
from django.conf import settings
from factory import Faker
from factory.django import DjangoModelFactory
from faker_file.providers.docx_file import DocxFileProvider

from upload.models import Upload

factory.Faker.add_provider(DocxFileProvider)

class UploadFactory(DjangoModelFactory):

    # ...
    file = Faker("docx_file", root_path=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

    class Meta:
        model = Upload

Testing ¶

Simply type:

pytest -vvv

Or use tox:

tox

Or use tox to check specific env:

tox -e py310-django41
