kotlinlang

Hello everyone. I don't have a java/kotlin background but I'd like to get your opinion on theses factory classes (used with the faker library). They are used for creating fake data when testing. I don't know if it makes sens for a kotlin dev. Or is there something better ? But here is the UserFactory: <https://github.com/danygiguere/spring-boot-3-reactive-with-kotlin-coroutines/blob/main/src/main/kotlin/factory/UserFactory.kt> and how I use it in a test: <https://github.com/danygiguere/spring-boot-3-reactive-with-kotlin-coroutines/blob/main/src/test/kotlin/com/example/demo/factory/integration/UserFactoryTest.kt|https://github.com/danygiguere/spring-boot-3-reactive-with-kotlin-coroutines/blob/[…]/kotlin/com/example/demo/factory/integration/UserFactoryTest.kt>. Does it make sens or do you think Fixtures are better ?

The only thing I'd change is replace `runBlocking` by `runTest`

<@UFGCACPE0> I do not have access to runTest though.  Is it a function that you wrote yourself ?

<https://kotlinlang.org/api/kotlinx.coroutines/kotlinx-coroutines-test/kotlinx.coroutines.test/run-test.html>

also instead of
```fun makeOne(userId: Long? = null) {
    userId ?: 1L```
it would be better to
```fun makeOne(userId: Long = 1L) {```
