Doctrine Fixtures

DoctrineFixtures.md

Doctrine fixtures in different place than src/DataFixtures

1. fixtures directory tree (example)

   tests/Fixtures/Data
   tests/Fixtures/Test
   

2. all fixtures implements FixtureGroupInterface, Data fixtures return data, Test fixtures return test

3. loading fixtures

   • ./bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load loads all the fixtures
   • ./bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load --group=data loads only data fixtures

To have this working you need to define fixture service for dev environment.

Service file location config/packages/dev/

Service definition service.xml

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
