Describe the bug lorem().characters() method sometimes does not include digit.

To Reproduce Run "lorem().characters(7,true,true)" this in a loop. Observe that some times, the generated string will miss digit.

Expected behavior A digit must include every time when includeDigit is used.

Versions:

• OS: Windows
• JDK 11
• Faker Version 1.0.2

You'd best use https://github.com/datafaker-net/datafake instead, which is an active fork of this library.

I don't think this is a bug though, it's an option to include numbers. Not always they will be included. If you want to force numbers, you can use something like bothify, regexify, or examplify.

Thank you for the response.

In datafaker there is a special Text provider where it's possible to specify minimum number of occurrencies per symbol. I guess, even more it's possible to specify other symbols e.g. from non English abc, it will satisfy your case.
