No way to specify ManyToMany related object... about model_mommy

[berinhard]

@therms I don't know if I understood your issue, but the following approach worked for me in previous experiments:

emp1 = Employer.object.create(**kwargs)
emp2 = Employer.object.create(**kwargs)
emp3 = Employer.object.create(**kwargs)
person = mommy.make(Person, employers=[emp1, emp2, emp3])

Another way to make model_mommy to create a Employer object is adding a generator function to your custom field. This could be done as the following:

from model_mommy import Mommy
from your_app.models import YourCustomField, Person

def your_custom_field_generator():
    '''
    A function to handle the custom field random value generation
    '''
    return "42"

person_mommy = Mommy(Person)
self.type_mapping.update({YourCustomField: you_custom_field_generator})

Maybe we can improve this usage in the docs...

I like the first thing you mention, but if I try it I get the following traceback (running model_mommy from git):

Traceback (most recent call last):

@therms thanks for reporting this bug! I've made the PR #83 to fix it and @vandersonmota had already merged it on the master branch. So, if you update your model_mommy version using the current master branch, the code that I wrote on the last comment will work.

If everything works fine, please, don't forget to close the issue.

can i close this issue?

I haven't had the time to test it out, so its up to whether or not you think @berinhard really fixed it. If I test it soon, I'll close the issue if you haven't by then.
