Provide a seed to Chance for repeatability #124

Open destiny-index opened 6 years ago

Is it possible to provide a seed to the factory so that running factory.chance will give repeatable results?

The Chance documentation says that a seed can be provided to Chance using new Chance(mySeed) but I'm not sure if there is a way to pass the seed to the instance of Chance that factory-girl uses.

Unfortunately, new Chance() appears to be hardcoded and no configurable seed is being provided.
