Strict mode problem with read only property about bogus HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi @andrejohansson thanks very much!

It could possibly be a bug, could you post an example of your model and faker setup? Also, what nuget version are you using?

It would help a lot and I'll take a look asap.

@andrejohansson I have a possible fix for read-only properties. Please give v3.0.5-beta-4 a try on NuGet. Bogus now ignores read-only properties.

Let me know if it fixes your issue. Thanks.

Hello again, sorry for the late reply. I updated on nuget to 3.0.5.0 but the problem remains.

The error is:

Cannot generate BokaMera.API.ServiceModel.Models.BookedEvent because strict mode is enabled on this type and some properties/fields have no rules.

I have rules for 17 of 19 properties and two properties are read Only. I have posted the model and rules in this gist: https://gist.github.com/andrejohansson/39926be13017cb607370

Hi @andrejohansson ,

Thanks very much for your model and faker setup. I was able to reproduce the issue.

Bogus v3.0.6 and v3.0.6-beta-1 should have the fix published on NuGet.

Additionally, I added a new method that can be used in conjunction with StrictMode. You can use .Ignore(c => c.SomePropertyOrField) and the field will be removed from StrictMode checking.

Please give them a try and let me know if it works for you. Hope that helps.

Works like a charm, thank you!

This workaround also helped me on obsolete field that are marked to give compilation error on use, e.g.:

[Obsolete("Use property 'xxx' instead", true)]
public string SomeOldProperty { get; set; }

When using StrictMode(true) there is no way to reference the property as an expression without the compiler throwing an error, so I had to do it by it's name:

.Ignore("SomeOldProperty") // Obsolete property

Hopefully this comment might help someone in the future.

I have also created a new feature request to silently ignore obsolete fields that is marked to generate compile time errors: #450
