Problem to create two databases with doctrine in Symfony - php

Question

I'm working on a Symfony project, using doctrine as ORM with MariaDB as a driver.
To test my different job, I'm working with gitlab-runner in local on MacOs.
Problem
I create a job to test the creation of my different databases and the migrations for both.
I'm using the symfony-cli command line to create my databases from the doctrine's file configuration (see in the section Source File)
The command line to create a database with symfony-cli
$ php bin/console doctrine:database:create --env=test --if-not-exists --connection=[CONNECTION_NAME]
The error prompt when the command line from is asked to run
$ php bin/console doctrine:database:create --env=test --if-not-exists --connection=CleanerFuture
Could not create database `cf_CleanerFuture` for connection named CleanerFuture
An exception occurred while executing 'CREATE DATABASE `cf_CleanerFuture`':
SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1044 Access denied for user 'myapptest'#'%' to database 'cf_CleanerFuture'
Goal
Well my goal it's to try to create the database base with this command line to run my job and past to the next one
Source File
.gitlab-ci.yml
This is the job I try to execute
doctrine-migrations:
image: php:7.3
stage: Migrations

- name: mysql:5.7
alias: mysql
variables:
ENV: test
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: pass_test

Answer 1

url: '%env(resolve:DATABASE_URL)%cf_CleanerFuture' in your config/test/doctrine.yaml file:
The part cf_CleanerFuture will be added to the string value of the variable DATABASE_URL which is defined in your .env file.
If your .env file value for the datbase connection contains something like
DATABASE_URL="mysql://symfony:symfony#database:3306/symfony?serverVersion=8.0"
the processed content of your config will be
doctrine:
dbal:
default_connection: default
connections:
default:
url: 'mysql://symfony:symfony#database:3306/symfony?serverVersion=8.0cf_central'
'mysql://symfony:symfony#database:3306/symfony?serverVersion=8.0cf_central' seems to be valid (doctrine can connect and the parameter serverVersion will be ignored if not usable), but the value of the parameter serverVersion is now 8.0cf_central. That makes no sense, is not a valid version number and you haven't configured a different database connection.
It is more recommended to use two different environment variables and store the whole connection URL in these variables:
# config/packages/doctrine.yaml
doctrine:
dbal:
default_connection: default
connections:
default:
# configure these for your database server
url: '%env(resolve:DATABASE_URL)%'
driver: 'pdo_mysql'
server_version: '5.7'
charset: utf8mb4
customer:
# configure these for your database server
url: '%env(resolve:DATABASE_CUSTOMER_URL)%'
driver: 'pdo_mysql'
server_version: '5.7'
charset: utf8mb4
See also the Symfony documentation which describes how to configure multiple database connections: https://symfony.com/doc/current/doctrine/multiple_entity_managers.html
