How do I use Symfony doctrine:fixtures:load with multiple entity managers? - php

Question

I have setup a new project with multiple entity managers, when I try to load the data fixtures I get an MappingException as the console tries to load Fixtures for everything rather than the entity manager I specified.
Here is the doctrine section from my config.yml
doctrine:
dbal:
connections:
default:
driver: %database_driver%
host: %database_host%
port: %database_port%
dbname: %database_name%
user: %database_user%
password: %database_password%
charset: %database_charset%
symblog:
driver: %database_driver_blog%
host: %database_host_blog%
port: %database_port_blog%
dbname: %database_name_blog%
user: %database_user_blog%
password: %database_password_blog%
charset: %database_charset_blog%
orm:
auto_generate_proxy_classes: %kernel.debug%
entity_managers:
default:
connection: default
mappings:
IncompassAuthBundle: ~
IncompassUserBundle: ~
IncompassApiBundle: ~
IncompassSurgeryBundle: ~
IncompassVendorBundle: ~
IncompassHospitalBundle: ~
dql:
datetime_functions:
date: Mapado\MysqlDoctrineFunctions\DQL\MysqlDate
symblog:
connection: symblog
mappings:
IncompassBlogBundle: ~
dql:
datetime_functions:
date: Mapado\MysqlDoctrineFunctions\DQL\MysqlDate
As you can see I've setup a separate connection and entity manager for the symblog tutorial stuff.
When I try
php app/console doctrine:fixtures:load --em=default
I get this
Careful, database will be purged. Do you want to continue Y/N ?Y
> purging database
> loading [1] Incompass\BlogBundle\DataFixtures\ORM\BlogFixtures
[Doctrine\Common\Persistence\Mapping\MappingException]
The class 'Incompass\BlogBundle\Entity\Blog' was not found in the chain configured namespaces Incompass\AuthBundle\Entity, Incompass\UserBundle\Entity, Incompass\
SurgeryBundle\Entity, Incompass\VendorBundle\Entity, Incompass\HospitalBundle\Entity, FOS\UserBundle\Model
doctrine:fixtures:load [--fixtures[="..."]] [--append] [--em="..."] [--purge-with-truncate]
When I try
php app/console doctrine:fixtures:load --em=symblog
I get
Careful, database will be purged. Do you want to continue Y/N ?Y
> purging database
> loading [1] Incompass\BlogBundle\DataFixtures\ORM\BlogFixtures
> loading [1] Incompass\SurgeryBundle\DataFixtures\ORM\SurgeryStatusFixtures
[Doctrine\Common\Persistence\Mapping\MappingException]
The class 'Incompass\SurgeryBundle\Entity\SurgeryStatus' was not found in the chain configured namespaces Incompass\BlogBundle\Entity
doctrine:fixtures:load [--fixtures[="..."]] [--append] [--em="..."] [--purge-with-truncate]
So the console command appears to be ignoring the "--em=foobar" option and is trying to load up all the data fixtures it finds.
How can I get doctrine:fixtures:load to only use the specified entity manager?

Answer 1

After Phils comment I moved all my Fixtures into a FixturesBundle and did this
php app/console doctrine:fixtures:load --fixtures=src/Incompass/FixturesBundle/DataFixtures/ORM
For the Blog Fixtures I also had to specify the entity manager
php app/console doctrine:fixtures:load --fixtures=src/Incompass/BlogBundle/DataFixtures/ORM --em=symblog
