1061143 - Replace landfill

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Maintenance Scripts, defect, P1)

Description

[Mathieu Agopian [:magopian]]

Landfill is no more, long live landfill. So we need to have some replacement:
1/ some base data (addontypes, appversions...)
2/ some data to ease the development (addons, users, reviews...)

Some work has already been done on Zamboni:
- an initial fixture https://github.com/mozilla/zamboni/pull/2470
- a fake data generator https://github.com/mozilla/zamboni/pull/2426 (doc: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Marketplace/Fake_Data#Generating_Apps)

Some thoughts about that for Olympia:
- a base db dump (instead of a fixture which is harder to maintain) that would be in the git repository
- a fake data generator (using the same API as the one for Zamboni), maybe using factory_boy?

Ideally, we would be able to generate fake data for the following:
- users
- addons/themes
- versions
- user comments
- reviewers
- addon reviews

We also need to update the docs.

I'm taking the fake data generation part trying to stay as close as possible to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Marketplace/Fake_Data/App_Generator
