Question

How do you organize your fixtures inside a Symfony2 project. Is there a standard you can respect so that when you use the doctrine:fixtures:load --env=environment command, only fixtures related to the environment environment are used ? This could be useful because fixtures for production are very likely to be different from fixtures for test.

Answer 1

The current fixtures bundle does not handle this.
If you want to load only certain fixtures, you must specify them using the --fixtures repeatable option:

./app/console doctrine:fixtures:load --fixtures=/path/to/fixtures1 --fixtures=/path/to/fixtures2

Anyway, in your tests, I advise you to load your fixtures eagerly, reseting your database before each test.
