How do I pass a random seed to fields?

[dj0nes]

I'm not sure how to seed fields in a factory class (or ideally, the entire class at once).

I tried doing something like the following, which does not work.

class AccountFactory(factory.Factory):
    class Meta(object):
        model = Account

    email = MimesisField('email', seed="randomseed")

Any pointers?

Thank you!

Old question, but I found a way around it. Apparently MimesisField doesn't support seed parameter, so it's not possible out of the box. In my case I've subclassed the MimesisField class like this:

class MimesisFieldWithSeed(MimesisField):
    seed = settings.seed # // my custom seed

    @classmethod
    def _get_cached_instance(
        cls,
        locale=None,
        providers=None,
        **kwargs,
    ):
       # // this part is not changed - I copied it from original MimesisField, changed lines are commented
        if locale is None:
            locale = cls._default_locale
        
        key = (locale, providers, cls.seed) # // added seed to key, in case I would want to have instances with different seeds
        if key not in cls._cached_instances:
            cls._cached_instances[key] = Field(locale, providers=providers, seed=cls.seed)  # // added seed here 

        return cls._cached_instances[key] so that it would be possible to do `field=MimesisField(seed=seed)`

If @lk-geimfari says it's a wanted change, I can add a proper PR with a proper change in MimesisField to accept seed argument in the __init__ method. The code presented here is just a simple hack to change as little code as possible (I don't know if this feature is actually wanted so I didn't want to waste time on setting up the project and creating a proper PR).
