What these fables can do ?

install the project (copy sample files, configure the database, run symfony task…)
rebuild the doctrine files (models, forms and filters), clear the cache, publish the assets
reset the data tests

Use

Symfony 1.4.x project installation

Thanks to the symfony-fabfile.py you can now easily install any symfony 1.4.x project.

First of all you need to create or complete the config/properties.ini like this:

; Project configuration
[symfony]
name=fabfile ; project name
author=Benjamin Grandfond <benjamin.grandfond@gmail.com> ; author of the project
orm=Doctrine
repository=git@github.com:benja-M-1/fabfile.git ; git repository of the project
dir=~/Dev/symfony/1.4 ; path to symfony 

; List of samples files to copy
; The name of the sample files must be like databases.yml.sample
[samples]
database=config/databases.yml

Then create the database sample configuration file config/databases.yml.sample

all:
  doctrine:
	class: sfDoctrineDatabase
    param:
      dsn:      mysql:host=#db_host#;dbname=#db_name#
      username: #db_user#
      password: #db_password#

test:
  doctrine:
    param:
	  dsn:      mysql:host=#db_host#;dbname=#db_name_test#
      username: #db_user#
      password: #db_password#

When you are done, you can now run the command

~:$ fab install

This command will :

copy config/properties.ini.sample into config/properties.ini
ask you to give the mysql user, password, database name and test database test name you want use for your project
create the user, the two databases and grant the user the privileges he needs on the two databases
copy config/databases.yml.sample into config/databases.yml
change the keys by the configured values in the databases configuration file
create a symbolic link of the symfony core in lib/vendor
build doctrine classes
clear the symfony cache
publish assets

You can use another .ini file for your settings :

~:$ fab install:config_file=my_ini_file.ini

You can set the mysql user, password and databases directly in the fabfile if you prefer, change the db values and run the install command like this :

~:$ fab install:interactive=False

Requirements

To use these fabfiles you need

TODO

add the possibility of the reset test data task to take a sql file and load it
