GenericForeignKey not accounted for in baker._skip_field()

[paduszyk]

When trying to bake a model with mandatory generic relation and set _fill_optional=True at the same time, I get AttributeError due to invalid reference to generic FK field's null attribute.

If I add GenericForeignKey to the tuple ref. below (followed by its import, of course), the problem disappears.

model_bakery/model_bakery/baker.py

Line 571 in 75735ff

if isinstance(field, (AutoField, GenericRelation, OrderWrt)):

I guess the problem is that generic FK is identified as nullable, thus optional... Anyone can explain why this has not been done yet?

We also have this problem, and are currently pinned to version <1.3 because of it. Would a patch containing the above change be acceptable? What else would be needed?

Thanks in advance!

Greetings, and sorry for the radio silence!

I'd happily accept the patch with the test (if possible). Otherwise, I could tackle this some time at the beginning of the next month.

Rust, Many thanks for your quick response. Paul

@paduszyk @paulredman- I got a bit of time to dig into this issue.
GenericForeignKey is not included in _skip_field() logic, as it is (and I believe, should be) allowed to be overwritten.

For example, there is a test TestFillingGenericForeignKeyField.test_iteratively_filling_generic_foreign_key_field that will fail in case we do that.

After playing around a bit, I have some kind of a workaround to cover the case described here: #438
(please, check out the test and correct me if I got it wrong).

While this solution works, I do not think it is the right way of solving this and would need to dig more.
