You can import fixtures through a yaml file and from a behat step. **Versions** - 1.0.x version, for Behat 3.x: [![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/e7d47e8e13ba2e2d15a33eb8216d9a0f133996d447a47e42cb141dbededc6a3a/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f72657a7a7a612f616c6963652d657874656e73696f6e2e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/rezzza/alice-extension) - 0.1.x version, for Behat 2.5.x Installation ------------ [](#installation) Through Composer : ``` $ composer require --dev "rezzza/alice-extension:1.0.*@dev" ``` Configure your behat.yml : ``` default: extensions: Rezzza\AliceExtension\Extension: fixtures: /path/to/your/fixtures.yml lifetime: (scenario|feature) faker: locale: en_US #default providers: [] ``` To write your `fixtures.yml` please report to [Alice documentation](https://github.com/nelmio/alice#creating-fixtures) This extension need `Symfony2Extension` to work. Have a look to [its documentation](http://extensions.behat.org/symfony2/index.html) Usage ----- [](#usage) In your behat configuration you can activate `AliceContext` for the test suite you need ``` default: suites: default: contexts: - Rezzza\AliceExtension\Context\AliceContext ``` So you can now write in your features : ``` Feature: Test My feature Background: Write fixtures Given I load "Vendor\My\Entity" fixtures where column "key" is the key: | key | id | name | | fixture1 | 1 | jean | | fixture2 | 2 | marc | ``` If you use yaml file, you should consider put your default values in it thanks to [template inheritance](https://github.com/nelmio/alice#fixture-inheritance). And use inline fixtures to override values you need. Hook for specific entities -------------------------- [](#hook-for-specific-entities) Sometimes you need to apply specific operations for objects persisted. You can do it through the Symfony2 Bundle packed with this extension. Activate the bundle: ``` ``` Then in your Symfony2 app you will be able to build some Alice processors via service. It should extends `Nelmio\Alice\ProcessorInterface` and registred via the tag `alice_extension.processor` Adapters -------- [](#adapters) Currently we support : - DoctrineORM - ElasticSearch (through FOSElasticaBundle) ``` default: extensions: Rezzza\AliceExtension\Extension: adapters: elastica: ~ orm: ~ ``` For ElasticSearch we should use `mapping` config to indicate which ElasticSearch type alice should use to persist your mode: ``` default: extensions: Rezzza\AliceExtension\Extension: adapters: elastica: index_service: fos_elastica.index.name_of_your_index mapping: myType: My\Fully\Model orm: ~ ``` Then in your features you should use tag to specify which adapters alice should use : ``` @alice:elastica Feature: Test My feature Background: Write fixtures Given I load "Vendor\My\Entity" fixtures where column "key" is the key: | key | id | name | | fixture1 | 1 | jean | | fixture2 | 2 | marc | ``` Advanced Fixtures ----------------- [](#advanced-fixtures) Fixtures can be managed through the configuration. ``` default: extensions: Rezzza\AliceExtension\Extension: default_loading: implicit fixtures: default: [users, products] # could be scalar if you want only one => users key_paths: users: /src/path/to/your/fixtures.yml products: /src/path/to/your/fixtures.yml ``` With this kind of configuration, when you'll call step below, it'll load **default** fixtures (**users** and **products** in this example). **default\_loading** key is important here, if it's defined as `implicit`, it'll implicitly load **default** fixtures when you use step below. If it's defined as `explicit` you'll have to use `Given I load "default" fixtures` to load **default** fixtures. ``` Given I load "Acme\Bundle\Entity\User" fixtures where column "key" is the key: | key | emailAddress | password | | user1 (extends user) | chuck@norris.com | password | ``` You are able to load fixtures manually: ``` Given I load "default" fixtures # will load users AND products Given I load "users" fixtures # will load users Given I load "products" fixtures # will load products ``` Of course, fixtures are loaded once. Faker Providers --------------- [](#faker-providers) Some providers are available on AliceExtension: - NullProvider: `` - FixedDateTimeProvider: `` You can add them (or your own) easily in behat.yml configuration: ``` default: extensions: Rezzza\AliceExtension\Extension: ..... faker: locale: en_US #default providers: - \Rezzza\AliceExtension\Providers\NullProvider - \Rezzza\AliceExtension\Providers\FixedDateTimeProvider - \Acme\Providers\YourOwnProvider ``` Lifetime -------- [](#lifetime) 2 lifetime options are available. - scenario : will reset fixtures after each scenario. You have to use **background** step to describe your fixtures - feature : will reset fixtures after each feature. You have to use **scenario** step to describe your fixtures FAQ --- [](#faq) - *I want to use this with Doctrine ODM !* - You should do a PR - *I wanto to use this with PostgreSQL !* - You should do a PR ### Health Score 38 — LowBetter than 85% of packages Maintenance18 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity35 Limited adoption so far Community20 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity67 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 73% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
