Referencing other factories in one kotlinFixture block.

[milgner]

When building complex data structures, I'd like to invoke other factories from within the current one.

Something along the lines of

val myFixtures = kotlinFixture {
    factory<MyComplexObject> { buildAComplexObject() }
    factory<AnotherObject> { AnotherObject(complexStuff = buildFromPreviousFactory<MyComplexObject>()) }
}

Unfortunately I haven't found a way to do this with the current API except through multiple kotlinFixture blocks. Any ideas?

Hi @milgner, inside the generator block of the factory you have access to fixture which will use any factories already defined. So basically for your example you can simply write:

val myFixtures = kotlinFixture {
    factory<MyComplexObject> { buildAComplexObject() }
    factory<AnotherObject> { AnotherObject(complexStuff = fixture<MyComplexObject>()) }
}
