I'm investigating moving from fixtures to generated data (using Machinist right now, though this question is probably generic to any generator) but I seem to be missing one essential point:
If I use a fixture, I can test that e.g. - an object will be valid with a valid owner (user) id - an object can't be valid with a nil owner id - an object can't be valid with a non-existent/invalid owner id because I know what owner ids exist (and thus which don't exist). If I use a generator to create test objects and owners, I have no idea what owner ids have been created, so how can I specify an invalid one for test purposes? Or am I completely off-track in some way?
