We have updated the version of Faker used for Test Data Generation and added a basic CLI.

Faker​

Faker is the test data generation library used by AnyWayData.

We have just updated the version in use to v9.7 so now the docs on the Faker site for API will match the test data generation here.

CLI​

We have also created prototype CLI of anwaydata to generate CSV files from the same data spec templates used in the UI.

So if you want to generate very large amounts of data then you can do so from the CLI rather than the web UI.

CLI binaries are available from:

github.com/eviltester/grid-table-editor/releases

Docs can be found here:

github.com/eviltester/grid-table-editor/tree/v1.0.1/cli

The CLI is built using bun so if you have bun installed you can run the CLI locally after cloning the repo.
