Setting the value

When testing or working in the console, being able to set the sequence to a specific value, is incredibly helpful. This can be achieved by passing the sequence URI and the new value to FactoryBot.set_sequence:

Global Sequences

Global sequences are set with the sequence name and the new value:

FactoryBot.define do
  sequence(:char, 'a') {|c| "global_character_#{c}" }

  factory :user do
    sequence(:name, %w[Jane Joe Josh Jayde John].to_enum)

    trait :with_email do
      sequence(:email) {|n| "user_#{n}@example.com" }
    end
  end
end

##
# char
generate(:char) # "global_character_a"
FactoryBot.set_sequence(:char, 'z')
generate(:char) # "global_character_z"

##
# user name
generate(:user, :name) # "Jane"
FactoryBot.set_sequence(:user, :name, 'Jayde')
generate(:user, :name) # "Jayde"

##
# user email
generate(:user, :with_email, :email) # "user_1@example.com"
FactoryBot.set_sequence(:user, :with_email, :email, 1_234_567)
generate(:user, :with_email, :email) # "user_1234567@example.com"
