    Bogus NuGet package is fake data generator which can be helpful for populating tables in a database and testing purposes. If a database is not used and Bogus populates list of data each time an application runs, the data is random, never the same. Also, the random data generated by Bogus may not meet a developer’s requirements.

    That reminds me of Bogus which also generates dummy data that I've been using for sometime now.

    To do all this you need test though...and that's where ]Bogus](https://github.com/bchavez/Bogus) and Auto Bogus come in handy. They both generate semi random test data that you can use to populate whatever method you've decided to use. You can setup rules so for specific fields, they have built in generators for common things like names and addresses. Auto Bogus can be used to populate large/complicated objects with data automatically (it can be slow if you don't use .WithRecursiveDepth() or.WithTreeDepth() )

    I would say the issue is either a general issue with how Revit loads the addin, or maybe an issue with conflicts in your transitive dependencies. You can do some tests to try to figure out which. Try making a barebones Revit addin that uses a library that has no dependencies and isn't likely to be used in Revit. I'd suggest Bogus, you can use it generate a few pieces of test data and log them/display in the UI/whatever. If that works, then it would appear that Revit is fine with your addin having dependencies (which I would expect).

What are some alternatives?

When comparing SqlClient and Bogus you can also consider the following projects:

FastEndpoints - A light-weight REST API development framework for ASP.NET 6 and newer.

AutoFixture - AutoFixture is an open source library for .NET designed to minimize the 'Arrange' phase of your unit tests in order to maximize maintainability. Its primary goal is to allow developers to focus on what is being tested rather than how to setup the test scenario, by making it easier to create object graphs containing test data.

GenFu - GenFu is a library you can use to generate realistic test data. It is composed of several property fillers that can populate commonly named properties through reflection using an internal database of values or randomly created data. You can override any of the fillers, give GenFu hints on how to fill them.
