Faker gem released

22 Nov 2007

My first gem! :) This is a simple one—a port of Perl’s Data::Faker. It’s useful for generating fake data, like names, addresses, etc. Check out Faker’s home page or install via gem install faker.

I’m currently getting install errors (rubygems 0.9.5):

$ sudo gem install faker
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
OpenURI::HTTPError: 404 Not Found reading http://gems.rubyforge.org/gems/faker-0.1.0-.gem

I installed it from source ok, but perhaps its worth asking Tom Copeland why this might be happening.

Very cool gem btw – Perl-land has so much to offer!

No docs? :(

Ben (20:29:31) :

@drnic: It looks like that was a temporary glitch… it’s working now.

@daniel: Docs are there, both in the gem, and at http://faker.rubyforge.org/rdoc

I was still getting the 404 errors, but checked out a copy from svn instead. This is a fantastic gem, I definitely could use it in numerous projects.
