I know this is an old question but for anyone who might come across this, here’s another approach that you can use. >>> from factory.faker import faker >>> FAKE = faker.Faker() >>> FAKE.name() ‘Scott Rodriguez’ >>> FAKE.address() ‘PSC 5061, Box 1673\nAPO AP 53007’ >>>
If you subclass factory.DjangoModelFactory it should save the user object for you. See the note section under PostGenerationMethodCall. Then you only need to do the following: class UserFactory(factory.DjangoModelFactory): FACTORY_FOR = User email=”admin@admin.com” username=”admin” password = factory.PostGenerationMethodCall(‘set_password’, ‘adm1n’) is_superuser = True is_staff = True is_active = True
