Description
Because pytest-factoryboy
replaces SubFactory
with registered factories, it is possible to inadvertently create circular dependencies, which are not detected by pytest.
In my case, the setup was the following:
User
factoryCompany
factory with aContact
subfactory.user
fixture overridden in the test file, depending on thecompany
fixturecontact
fixture overridden in the same file, depending on thecompany
fixture.
Normally it should be fine because user -> company
and contact -> company
- there's no cycle. But, because the plugin creates a dependency company -> contact
, the graph becomes: user -> company -> contact -> company
and there's a cycle. Yet this cycle is a bit magical - I did not ask for company.contact
and contact.company
to be the same... I want a new, unrelated contact to be created for each company.
Would it be possible to add an option to disable this for those who don't need it? Or only some whitelisted subfactories? In my case, I would like the company.contact
factory to be unrelated to the contact
factory.
