Random.state private

When trying to use Random.state I get an exception saying 'attempted to access private method 'Random.state'

def fake_members
    if Member.count < 5
      start = 0
      max = 24

      while start < max
        member = Member.new(first_name: Random.firstname, last_name: Random.lastname, address: Random.address_line_1,
                            city: Random.city, state:  Random.state , zipcode: Random.zipcode, phone_number: Random.phone,
                            email: Random.email)
        member.save
        start += 1
      end
    end
  end

Hi Mike,

I came across your git : https://github.com/tomharris/random_data as i was searching the internet for how calabash-ios generate random texts or data and i found yours.

I have installed the gem in my automation framework please how can i apply this in my calabash step definition?
I will have to fill registration forms in my automation test and i have to fill in random text everytime i run the test.

Please kindly help me out.

Thanks

undefined method `companyname' for Random:Class

When trying to generate a company name i get this issue.

undefined method `companyname' for Random:Class

The same happens when trying to use company_name

def fake_vendors
    if !Vendor.any?
      start = 0
      stop = 9
      while start < stop
        vendor = Vendor.new( name: Random.companyname,
                            address: Random.address_line_1,
                            city: Random.city,
                            state: Random.state,
                            phone_number: Random.phone,
                            email: Random.email,
                            zipcode: Random.zipcode)
        vendor.save
        start +=1
      end
    end
  end

Random.phone sometimes generates an extra digit at the end of the phone number

For example, see the following output:

irb(main):024:0> Random.phone
=> "235-306-5221"
irb(main):025:0> Random.phone
=> "924-824-7990"
irb(main):026:0> Random.phone
=> "396-991-3759"
irb(main):027:0> Random.phone
=> "738-483-5420"
irb(main):028:0> Random.phone
=> "735-520-8574"
irb(main):029:0> Random.phone
=> "856-690-3655"
irb(main):030:0> Random.phone
=> "480-373-1639"
irb(main):031:0> Random.phone
=> "152-216-7767"
irb(main):032:0> Random.phone
=> "278-245-7239"
irb(main):033:0> Random.phone
=> "631-627-10576"

Something is strange with the gem at rubygems.org

When I install the random_data gem with Bundler fresh from RubyGems.org under Ruby 1.9.2 I get the following error:
random_data-1.5.1/lib/random_data/locations.rb:97: invalid multibyte char (US-ASCII)

This issue has been resolved on 2009-06-27 with the following commit: http://github.com/tomharris/random_data/commit/db0d1ade1f095d41b3f8449c7dcc83a45a80d874

However, when I look directly at location.rb, there is no encoding header at the top of the file.

Random_data version 1.5.1 was released on 2010-01-18, so the commit that fixes the problem should be included within this gem, but it is not!

Can you please push an actual version to rubygems with the correct encoding header in location.rb?

Thank you for this great gem.
Michael

Is this gem still maintained?

There are PR's from 2012, I wonder if this gem is maintained?
