Pytest | Django | Introducing Factory Boy and Faker - Fixture Replacement

Pytest is a popular python test automation framework. Here we look at replacing Pytest fixtures with Factory Boy in a Python Django project. Factory Boy as a fixtures replacement tool, it aims to replace static, hard to maintain fixtures with easy-to-use factories for complex objects. In this tutorial we intergrade Factory boy into our small app and take a look at some of the more common features.

Hey Zander, I've been watching your tutorials for a very long time! Tbh your video tutorials have taught a lot to me! Keep up the good work! ^^ Also, just a quick suggestion, could you make a tutorial on Django for crypto transactions? I think that would be a great intermediate project. Thanks for reading out this comment! :)

[@veryacademy]

Working as we speak - I need to finish some project first then, sure I will do a poll to see what everyone wants - will add this to the suggestions. Sounds like an interesting/relevant project, thank you. 👍

[@veryacademy]

I will do eventually, it’s on my future todo list

[@MsSLOOM77]

Thank you a lot

[@user-ph7je6hv6n]

Thanks for the great videos! What if I need to create different objects with different model fields? To do this, you need to create parameterized factories?

[@AdalV51]

Amazing tutorial! Also wanted to know, what's the theme you are using in VS Code? Looks really nice!

[@veryacademy]

Thanks, theme is owl2 if I remember right

[@amanjain6680]

i use function create() and get error "Got an error creating the test database: permission denied to create database"

[@ahmadirfan7840]

Previously, when I was developed an e-commerce using Rails, I also used factory test but not factory boy. It’s factory girl. Well somehow, this video makes me think. Are factory boy and factory girl was developed by the same team or individual?

[@veryacademy]

Hi Ahmad - Yes Factory Boy was inspired from Factory Girl 👍

[@ahmadirfan7840]

@@veryacademy ooo.. got it..

[@davidtaneja]

can we use any python library or open source library in our django project (in production or in web apps) ?

Is there any issue for License or copyright ?

[@veryacademy]

Most packages on PyPi will indicate the licence requirements and provide details of what you need to do. Most packages are MIT - if you are not sure and taking to production on PyPi you can find a link to the author contact info - just ask 👍

[@mueezkhan280]

what is the purpose of using .build method at 16:16 , can someone please guide me ?

[@theyzilay]

why you didn't use factory.Faker instead of Faker?
