Collisions when building Fabricator

[ijcd]

I'm trying to use Fabricator and have come across another collision (similar to the klass one in #92). Inspecting self.methods while in a Fabricator yields a whole slew of possible collisions (see below).

For me, I had a column called "display" and since there is a "display" method below, method_missing is never invoked. Perhaps the instance_eval needs to be done on a much more naked object?

% cat fabrication_collision_test.rb
require 'fabrication'
require 'faker'

class Store
attr_accessor :uuid, :display
end

Fabricator(:store) do
uuid { Faker::Lorem.characters(32) }
puts methods.inspect
display { "bar" }
end

% bundle exec ruby fabrication_collision_test.rb
[:klass, :klass=, :after_build, :after_create, :attribute, :append_or_update_attribute, :attributes=, :attributes, :callbacks=, :callbacks, :generator, :build, :fabricate, :to_attributes, :init_with, :merge, :method_missing, :on_init, :initialize_with, :parse_method_name, :transient, :sequence, :psych_to_yaml, :to_yaml_properties, :to_yaml, :nil?, :===, :=, :!, :eql?, :hash, :<=>, :class, :singleton_class, :clone, :dup, :initialize_dup, :initialize_clone, :taint, :tainted?, :untaint, :untrust, :untrusted?, :trust, :freeze, :frozen?, :to_s, :inspect, :methods, :singleton_methods, :protected_methods, :private_methods, :public_methods, :instance_variables, :instance_variable_get, :instance_variable_set, :instance_variable_defined?, :instance_of?, :kind_of?, :is_a?, :tap, :send, :public_send, :respond_to?, :respond_to_missing?, :extend, :display, :method, :public_method, :define_singleton_method, :object_id, :to_enum, :enum_for, :gem, :suppress_warnings, :==, :equal?, :!, :!=, :instance_eval, :instance_exec, :send, :id]

I think the strategy would be to instance_eval against a blank slate object, proxying your DSL methods, and leaving at least one method usable for escaping other reserved words:

Fabricator(:store) do
uuid "foo"
display "bar"
__attr :attributes "my attrs"
end

something like that...

Working on this. Stay tuned!
