Does this insert into the database as Factory Girl in ruby does? #2

It seems ambiguous if this does or does not insert into the database. I'm leaning no, but I'd love clarity / an update in the docs.

Hi @jontonsoup, for now it doesn't save to the database and ecto evolved a lot in the last few months. There is a really interesting project on the line of factory_girl_elixir called Blacksmith. I don't really like and trust Faker data, I prefer to know exactly the data that I'm using in my tests (to avoid random failing tests), but you are not obligated to use Faker in Blacksmith. You can find the repo here: https://github.com/batate/blacksmith

Saw this last week! Exactly what I need.

Thanks,

Jon
