Override the setted value with the generate value

[mmefremov]

Hello,
I’m encountering an issue when I need to override the setted value with the generate value. Below is my code:

    @Test
    void testCreationAccountWithSelectorChange() {
        Model<Account> accountModel = Instancio.of(Account.class)
                .set(Select.field(Account::getOrder), 1)
                .toModel();

        Account account = Instancio.of(accountModel)
                .generate(Select.field(Account::getOrder), gen -> gen.ints().min(2))
                .create();
        log.info("account: {}", account);

        Assertions.assertThat(account.getOrder())
                .as("account number should not equals %d", 1)
                .isNotEqualTo(1)
                .isGreaterThanOrEqualTo(2);
    }

I read the documentation twice and was sure that order=1. But in fact it's not:

Could you tell me why, please? Thanks!

I should probably document this better. This is because because of precedence for the different methods. These are ranked from highest to lowest:

• assign()
• set() and supply()
• generate()

You can workaround this by changing the model to use generate() instead of set().

Alternatively, you can replace set() with assign() when creating an object from the model:

Account account = Instancio.of(accountModel)
    .assign(Assign.valueOf(Account::getOrder).set(2))
    .create();

It was a surprise for me that after Assign.valueOf() you can call the generate() or supply().
Thank you for your answer!
