Scala or Java equivalent of Ruby factory_girl or Python factory_boy (convenient factory pattern for unit testing)
There is a project called Fixture-Factory(https://github.com/six2six/fixture-factory). It was based in the Factory-Girl's idea.
You could easily create your object's template definition:
Fixture.of(Client.class).addTemplate("valid", new Rule(){{
add("id", random(Long.class, range(1L, 200L)));
add("name", random("Anderson Parra", "Arthur Hirata"));
add("nickname", random("nerd", "geek"));
add("email", "${nickname}@gmail.com");
add("birthday", instant("18 years ago"));
add("address", one(Address.class, "valid"));
}});
And then you can easily use it in your tests:
Client client = Fixture.from(Client.class).gimme("valid");
I created a new java framework Factory Duke to provide the same feature as Factory_Girl https://github.com/regis-leray/factory_duke
Really easy to use, define a template (in this case the default)
FactoryDuke.define(User.class, u -> {
u.setLastName("Scott");
u.setName("Malcom");
u.setRole(model.Role.USER);
});
And use it
User user = FactoryDuke.build(User.class);
