Doesn't allow duplicate model names

[jjoocceeee]

Even though Django allows for duplicate model names in different apps, Baker throws a AmbiguousModelName exception if duplicate model names are provided.

In Django this would be solved by using the import as method --

from app_1 import duplicate_model_name as new_name
from app_2 import duplicate_model_name as new_name_2

Expected behavior

To use declared name of a model to create the model.

Actual behavior

model_bakery.exceptions.AmbiguousModelName: ModelName is a model in more than one app. Use the form "app.model".

Reproduction Steps

Have multiple models in different apps with the same name, and try to create a new instance with model bakery

baker.make("duplicate_model_name")

Versions

Python: 3.9.5
Django: 2.2.20
Model Bakery:1.3.1

The exception message says it all:

Use the form "app.model".

...which in your example would be:

baker.make("app_1.duplicate_model_name")
# or
baker.make("app_2.duplicate_model_name")

Since there is no way for bakery to determine which model you meant, then prefixing the app name is required.

@jjoocceeee I am closing this issue, as there is already a workable method of resolving ambiguous model names (providing the "dotted path" which includes the app name).

Feel free to open up any other issues you have in the future.
