In server-side test code, there is a utility called
Sample
. It allows to generate sample values for any given Proto message. However, it does a lousy job with Protostring
s. In particular, it just creates them as eight random bytes treated as UTF-8-encoded JavaString
.Such an approach is problematic if such values are stored either as IDs, or as entity column values into some real DB. For instance, MySQL 5.7 is not able to store such strings as-is — which was discovered when running Spine tests against MySQL in scope of
spine-rdbms
development.This changeset updates this
Sample
tool, so thatstring
-typed fields in Proto messages get UUID-generated values instead of random bytes.The library version is set to
1.9.0-SNAPSHOT.12
