Can't create a user in a group due to gen_m2m MAX_MANY_QUANTITY about model_bakery HOT 2 CLOSED

Hello,

I'm facing the same issue.
I sense that gen_m2m should only use MAX_MANY_QUANTITY in the context of a make_m2m, not when explicitly specifying values.

@berinhard what do you think ? would you accept a contribution in that way ?

Hi! Sorry for the extreme late reply on this issue, but the lib renaming was a high priority for us and all other issues were on hold.

Model bakery do not handle constraints because this would hide complexity from the test code. We prefer to be explicit rather than implicit for this type of error. Instead of forcing a groups__name value, I suggest you to use the following and more explicit test code:

group = baker.make(Group, name='foo')
user = baker.make(User, groups=[group])
