Generating a class with a .NET 6 `DateOnly` property fails

I have an entity that looks like this in a .NET 6 project:

public class Recipe
{
    public string Title { get; set; }

    public DateOnly Dob { get; set; } // context doesn't make sense, it's just for POC
}

When I run this faker:

public class FakeRecipe : AutoFaker<Recipe>
{
    public FakeRecipe()
    {
    }
}

in a test like this:

    [Test]
    public void test()
    {
        var test = new FakeRecipe().Generate();

        true.Should().BeTrue();
    }

I get this error.

I know .NET 6 is new, but I have tons of use cases I’d like to refactor a DateOnly prop and this is a definite blocker with how my tests are currently set up 😦

@lsimone i ended up publishing a forked version of Autobogus given @nickdodd79’s inactivity. It should fix this if you want to give it a whirl to resolve your issue. If you have any problems let me know: https://github.com/pdevito3/AutoBogus

Not sure how active I’ll be maintaining it and really hoping nick takes things back over, but it’s seeming more and more abandoned.

thanks @pdevito3: we are currently using this lib (thanks @nickdodd79 !) and this would definitely solve our issue.
