Hi,
I'm using factories with Codeception quite some time. I'm just using them in my helpers (example here), but I encountered a problem with some memory leaks from Faker library.
If we want to support factories we'd need to re-bind Faker & EloquentFactory in _after
hook, to remove all references to faker between tests, so garbage collector can do his job.
Something like that:
$this->app->singleton(FakerGenerator::class, function ($app) {
return FakerFactory::create($app['config']->get('app.faker_locale', 'en_US'));
});
$this->app->singleton(EloquentFactory::class, function ($app) {
return EloquentFactory::construct(
$app->make(FakerGenerator::class), $this->app->databasePath('factories')
);
});
I know that this isn't perfect but Laravel doesn't have build in method to run it on application. They're doing this here
What are you trying to achieve?
There is no possibility to use factory states: example with $i->have function. I requesting for such functionality
