unable to get different dates with FuzzyDateTime

Hello, In Django tests, i have

class EventFactory(factory.django.DjangoModelFactory):
    ...
    dtstart = FuzzyDateTime(datetime.datetime(2008, 1, 1, tzinfo=UTC), datetime.datetime(2009, 1, 1, tzinfo=UTC),
                        force_hour=10,
                        force_minute=30,
                        force_second=0, force_microsecond=0).evaluate(2, None, False)

and i use it:

self.event = EventFactory.create()
self.event2 = EventFactory.create()
self.event3 = EventFactory.create()

Displaying the resulting dtstart, i got: dtstart: “2008-07-21 10:30:00+00:00” dtstart: “2008-07-21 10:30:00+00:00” dtstart: “2008-07-21 10:30:00+00:00” The dates are the same, that’s not what i expect.

What i don’t understand is when i try it in python shell, everytime i call FuzzyDateTime(…), the rresult is always different.

Am i missing something?

thanks in advance for help,

gerard

Hi,

To get a end_dt, simply do the following:

class MyFactory(factory.Factory):
    start_dt = factory.fuzzy.FuzzyDateTime(
        datetime.datetime(2008, 1, 1, tzinfo=UTC),
        datetime.datetime(2009, 1, 1, tzinfo=UTC),
    )
    end_dt = factory.LazyAttribute(lambda o: o.start_dt + datetime.timedelta(hours=1))

As to the sequence, this is easy to design by overriding the rule for start_dt when calling create_batch:

EventFactory.create_batch(N,
     start_dt=factory.Sequence(lambda n: start_dt + datetime.timedelta(hours=n)),
)
