Fake schema generating always the same name about datafaker HOT 3 CLOSED

Thanks for your feedback! Indeed I was just replying that I'm unable to change the seed as in the real example I'm attaching a static schema to my Java Beans. With your suggestion it works perfectly thanks!

public class CustomerSchema {
      public static Schema<Object, ?> defaultSchema() {
         var faker = new Faker(Locale.getDefault(), ThreadLocalRandom.current());
            return Schema.of(
            field("name", () -> faker.name().firstName()),
            field("surname", () -> faker.name().lastName())
            );
     }
    
}

@FakeForSchema("com.sample.model.CustomerSchema#defaultSchema") 
public class Customer {
}

If your random seed is static wouldn't that be expected? (Note I haven't tested or played with this functionality, so I'm kinda guessing but that stands out.)

That's the idea of repeatability feature: if something is invoked for the same seed in your case new Random(100L) after same steps the result will be same.

If you want to have different result each time and do not care about repeatability then just use e.g. ThreadLocalRandom.current() or some other similar Random implementation like

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        BaseFaker faker = new BaseFaker(ThreadLocalRandom.current());
        Schema<Object, ?> schema = Schema.of(
            field("Text", () -> faker.name().firstName()),
            field("Bool", () -> faker.bool().bool())
        );

        JsonTransformer<Object> transformer = JsonTransformer.builder().build();
        String json = transformer.generate(schema, 1);

        System.out.println(json);
    }
