How to force to fill nullable properties?

[ildoc]

Not a bug, but since I couldn't find any documentation, I don't know where else to ask for support...

I have a class like this:

public class Thing
{
    public int? Id { get; set; }
    public string Description { get; set; }
    public DateTime? Timestamp { get; set; }
}

And I configured like this:

A.Configure<Thing>()
    .Fill(x => x.Id)
    .Fill(x => x.Timestamp);

but when I create a list with var things = A.ListOf<Thing>(50);, all of them have Id and Timestamp as null

(I'm using it in a .NET framework 4.6.2 project)

What I'm missing? How can I force nullable properties to be filled?

You shouldn't need to do anything special to fill nullable properties. Can you try var things = A.ListOf<Thing>(50) without doing anything to Configure first?

When I try this on genfu.io, it works without configuration.

I'm having the same issue as well - i think that website testbed might be doing some different config, so i pasted the code int a unit test

        public class Thing
        {
            public int? Id { get; set; }
            public string Description { get; set; }
            public DateTime? Timestamp { get; set; }
        }

        [TestMethod]
        public void TestMethod_2()
        {
            var things = A.ListOf<Thing>(5);
            foreach (var thing in things)
            {
                Debug.WriteLine($"Id: {thing.Id}, Descritpion: {thing.Description}, TimeStamp: {thing.Timestamp}");
            }
        }

and here's the debug output

Id: , Descritpion: pack, TimeStamp: 
Id: , Descritpion: williamsburg, TimeStamp: 
Id: , Descritpion: pack, TimeStamp: 
Id: , Descritpion: apparel, TimeStamp: 
Id: , Descritpion: government, TimeStamp:

I think there was indeed a bug on this. Can you try the latest version?
