Hi @serpro69

Can I use this library in an android project? Currently, I added this dependency and I get the following error:

faker.internet.email()

java.util.NoSuchElementException: Category with name 'NAME' not found

	at io.github.serpro69.kfaker.FakerService.fetchCategory(FakerService.kt:130)

Hi. Thanks for reporting. I haven't tried using it in an Android project, but I'll look into it.

Perfect. Thanks.

I can't seem to reproduce this issue using latest Android Studio

I used this sample project to run the tests: https://github.com/android/testing-samples/tree/master/unit/BasicSample

And the test:

public class EmailValidatorTest {
    @Test
    public void testKotlinFaker() {
        Faker faker = new Faker();

        String name = faker.getInternet().email();
        System.out.println("name = " + name);
    }
}

prints out:

name = clarita.wiza@yahoo.com

Process finished with exit code 0

Tried running both from command line and the IDE.
Can you provide a minimal reproducible example for the issue you're facing?

[eugenio1590]

Hi @serpro69 , I replicated this issue on my android project but I do not have time now to replicate using another project of Android. I am sorry for that. But If you see this "test" project you can see the same problem. This is a maven project with spring. Please let me know if it is a missing dependency or if I need to use another version of the Faker library. Thanks.

[serpro69]

Thanks @eugenio1590, I'll check it out.

[serpro69]

I couldn't reproduce the issue with your test project either.

Here's the full output of the test run (I've added a printout for the name variable) which you can also see in the console output.

[serpro69]

Could this #20 be related? Can you try explicitly setting the jackson-module-kotlin version to 2.10.1?

[eugenio1590]

Ok, I am using Intellij to run the tests. I can try using the command line to verify it.

[serpro69]

I tried both actually. But yes, it could be something wrong with your intellij setup.

[eugenio1590]

I get the same error. You can close this issue for now if you want. Thanks for your help.

[serpro69]

I don't mind keeping it open for awhile, but I need more details to reproduce it.
I'll try to reproduce it on a VM box when I have some time. If it works there as well it must be something with your setup.

[serpro69]

I've tried to reproduce it on a VM box with a spring-boot maven project and it works there as well, hence closing this as not reproducible.
Feel free to re-open if you can provide more details on how to reproduce this.

[mcheung610]

I ran into the same problem. I think this is a bug that only happens in the windows environment.

@serpro69 Is it possible to re-open this?

[serpro69]

@mcheung610 , I've re-opened this, but I'm not sure how to reproduce it. I don't have a windows machine and virtualbox was broken in Ubuntu 2004 for me last time that I checked it. I'll try to check it once more when I have the time, but feel free to submit a PR for the fix also.
What version are you using?

[serpro69]

@mcheung610 / @eugenio1590 , I've made another fix for android in #90 . Can you try to run latest version and see if this issue still persists with that fix?

[serpro69]

This issue has been w/o action for quite some time now, so I'm going to close it.
If you still face problems with android @mcheung610 / @eugenio1590 - feel free to re-open.
Thanks

I have a maybe similar problem. By invoke faker.address.city() the stack trace is the result. It is clear to me that the compose tooling framework is a bit different to the instrumentation test. The question is why the others work but not the city()?

[serpro69]

Hi @drindt ,
That looks strange. address.city() makes a call to Name provider (ref:

kotlin-faker/core/src/main/resources/locales/en/address.yml

Lines 1832 to 1836 in 97ff39e

	city:
	- "#{city_prefix} #{Name.first_name}#{city_suffix}"
	- "#{city_prefix} #{Name.first_name}"
	- "#{Name.first_name}#{city_suffix}"
	- "#{Name.last_name}#{city_suffix}"

), which for some reason is not found and hence the exception is thrown.
I suppose the "others" that do work for you don't invoke functions from other providers (like in this case address.city() will call i.e. name.firstName()), which is why they might work and city() not. The question is, why city() doesn't work... :)
Would you be able to provide an example repo where this can be reproduced?
