Hi,

I'm looking for test database data to load into drupal for testing. I downloaded the devel module, as it's description suggested there was test data or a data generator included. I only found the module file and 2 readmes. Does anyone here have a (substantial) test dataset available?

Thanks,
pacoit

Once you install and enable the devel module it will create a menu item that should allow you to create a very large number of users/nodes/comments to your desire.

I don't think the devel module itself will, I think you need to go into the scripts directory of the devel module and read the instructions on how to use the included scripts.

I could be wrong as I haven't looked at the latest devel module in a few weeks.

Quite right. Serves me for just assuming and not actually checking...It's actually the "generate" directory but maybe that's what you meant by scripts.

Here's the readme specific to the "generate" which details the process

That link may wrap, but navigation down to that level isn't hard.

Hi,
The problem is that the devel-4.6.0 package does not contain the generate folder---despite referencing it. However, devel-cvs does have it. Back in business. Thanks for the responses.
