Question

im trying to test symfony application behaviour by BDD symfony plugin and im stucked because i realized i dont know how to reset database directly by PHP in my BDD bootstraping file :-/ .

Does anybody know how to reset it without loading fixtures? (Result has to be empty database)

Answer 1

If you mean reset on every test (eg running test:all), I have this in a test/bootstrap/db.php file and include it at the end of unit.php or functional.php

new sfDatabaseManager($configuration);

$doctrine = new sfDoctrineDropDbTask($configuration->getEventDispatcher(), new sfAnsiColorFormatter());
$doctrine->run(array(), array("--no-confirmation","--env=test"));

$doctrine = new sfDoctrineBuildDbTask($configuration->getEventDispatcher(), new sfAnsiColorFormatter());
$doctrine->run(array(), array("--env=test"));

$doctrine = new sfDoctrineInsertSqlTask($configuration->getEventDispatcher(), new sfAnsiColorFormatter());
$doctrine->run(array(), array("--env=test"));

This assumes that $configuration is defined in eg your unit.php or functional.php file as it normally is by default.

The above is used with the built-in lime test suite, but I’m sure you can extend/implement it appropriately in your BDD bootstrap.
