Generic Relations

[waustin]

Autofixture creation was failing for me too on a model that was using a django-taggit field. I applied Eric's patch but the code failed when trying to find a default value on the taggit field. This patch seems to fix it.

Hm, ok I see the problem. However ... what do would you suggest should the generic relation point to?
I think its nonsense to just pick a random model and use an existing instance to point this generic relation at.

I think this should be handled with a custom Autofixture class. Any better ideas are much appreciated.

I think it worth to implement a shortcut for such custom classes as option for AutoFixture class where models that should be picked for GFKs could be defined.

My previous comment was about GenerifForeignKey, but I just noticed, that issue is exactly about GenericRelation (link). Related model is required for its definition, so it is possible to process it like OneToMany.

Seems like @StillNewb got the fix for this in #27. I just released 0.6.3, containing the fix for this issue.
