Fixtures for all mixtures 👋

composer require adrhumphreys/silverstripe-fixtures dev-master
When running dev/build
Silverstripe framework will try to load all classes into it's ClassManifest to cache them and allow for functionality such as dependency injection. During that process it will try to load your Fixture class which will then try to load AdrHumphreys\Fixtures\AbstractFixture
which doesn't exist. This will throw and exception and stop the dev/build
process.
You have some options to remedy this, ranked from best to worst:
Option 1: Place your fixtures in the tests
directory for your project:
These are designed to be run on a test/dev environment only and the code is more reference than implementation specific. It therefore makes sense to move these files into this directory. Why? It's explicitly ignored when finding files via ManifestFileFinder
Option 2: Add _manifest_exclude
to the fixture directory:
This will ensure that ManifestFileFinder
will ignore files in the directory. This is option 2 because it makes it easier for code that is test only to end up being relied upon by production code which should never be the case
Option 3: Add implements TestOnly
to all fixtures
If you are installing this as a dev dependency then all your fixtures will need to implement \SilverStripe\Dev\TestOnly
this is specifically excluded from Silverstripes class manifest loader
The default setup is to run this as a task like so:
vendor/bin/sake dev/tasks/load-fixtures directory=app/src/fixtures
You'll need to create your fixtures in the directory specified. Or you can implement your own task, look at the task LoadFixtures
as an example. You can change ->loadFromDirectory
to multiple calls of ->loadFixture($fixtureClassName)
A basic fixture looks like the following:
<?php
namespace App\Fixtures;
use AdrHumphreys\Fixtures\AbstractFixture;
use SilverStripe\Dev\TestOnly;
class PageFixture extends AbstractFixture implements TestOnly
{
public function load(): void
{
$page = \Page::create();
$page->Title = 'Example title';
$page->URLSegment = 'example-page';
$page->write();
$page->publishRecursive();
}
public function getClassesToClear(): ?array
{
return [\Page::class];
}
}
load
is called when creating the fixture and then getClassesToClear
is called when purging the fixture. You can also implement unload
which is function in which you can choose what to do and getTablesToClear
which is a function similar to getClassesToClear
but just tables.
Load order is first dependencies with no order requirement and no dependencies. Then ordered fixtures followed lastly by fixtures with dependencies.
If a fixture depends on another fixture you can implement DependentFixtureInterface
and the function getDependencies
returns an array of classes that the fixture depends on.
An example from would be:
<?php
namespace App\Fixtures;
use AdrHumphreys\Fixtures\AbstractFixture;
use AdrHumphreys\Fixtures\DependentFixtureInterface;
use SilverStripe\Dev\TestOnly;
class MyOtherPageFixture extends AbstractFixture implements DependentFixtureInterface, TestOnly
{
public function load(): void
{
// Example
}
public function getDependencies(): array
{
return [PageFixture::class];
}
}
You can also specify the order fixtures are loaded in by implementing the interface OrderedFixtureInterface
the method getOrder
returns an number which represents the order.
<?php
namespace App\Fixtures;
use AdrHumphreys\Fixtures\AbstractFixture;
use AdrHumphreys\Fixtures\OrderedFixtureInterface;
use SilverStripe\Dev\TestOnly;
class PageFixture extends AbstractFixture implements OrderedFixtureInterface, TestOnly
{
public function load(): void
{
// Example
}
public function getOrder(): int
{
return 2;
}
}
During the load you can store a reference to a fixture by adding it to the internal reference storage with $this->addReference(string $identifier, object $reference);
. An example is:
<?php
namespace App\Fixtures;
use AdrHumphreys\Fixtures\AbstractFixture;
use SilverStripe\Dev\TestOnly;
class PageFixture extends AbstractFixture implements TestOnly
{
public const PAGE_REF = 'my-page-ref';
public function load(): void
{
$page = \Page::create();
$page->Title = 'Example title';
$page->URLSegment = 'example-page';
$page->write();
$page->publishRecursive();
$this->addReference(self::PAGE_REF, $page);
}
}
You'd then use it by calling $this->getByReference(string $identifier)
. Example:
<?php
namespace App\Fixtures;
use AdrHumphreys\Fixtures\AbstractFixture;
use SilverStripe\Dev\TestOnly;
class PageFixtureTwo extends AbstractFixture implements TestOnly
{
public function load(): void
{
$refPage = $this->getByReference(PageFixture::PAGE_REF);
$page = \Page::create();
$page->Title = 'Example title';
$page->URLSegment = 'example-page';
$page->Body = 'PageID: ' . $refPage->ID;
$page->write();
$page->publishRecursive();
}
}
Run the task without purging:
vendor/bin/sake dev/tasks/load-fixtures directory=app/src/fixtures append=true
Purge the data:
vendor/bin/sake dev/tasks/load-fixtures directory=app/src/fixtures purgeOnly=true
Do literally nothing:
vendor/bin/sake dev/tasks/load-fixtures directory=app/src/fixtures purgeOnly=true append=true
You can create assets really easily like so:
\AdrHumphreys\Fixtures\ReferenceManager::findOrMakeAsset('my-asset-id', 'file/path.jpg');
This will create the image, and store it with a reference of my-asset-id
. You can also pass through as a third argument an array of params e.g. ['Title' => 'my asset title']
this will be translated to $image->Title = 'my asset title'
so is case-sensitive. The function will also return the stored image. The fourth argument allows you to specify another Asset type eg SilverStripe\Assets\File.
You can then access the asset through $this->getByReference('my-asset-id')
Creating other DataObject
's can be done like so (these are only written through ->write
):
$ref = ReferenceManager::findOrMakeDataObject(
'my-cool-page', // reference
\Page::class, // object to create
[
'Title' => 'My cool page', // params
'URLSegment' => 'my-cool-page'
]
);
