Foundry

Foundry makes creating fixtures data fun again, via an expressive, auto-completable, on-demand fixtures system with Symfony and Doctrine:

$post = PostFactory::new() // Create the factory for Post objects
    ->published()          // Make the post in a "published" state
    ->create([             // create & persist the Post object
        'slug' => 'post-a' // This Post object only requires the slug field - all other fields are random data
    ])
;

The factories can be used inside DoctrineFixturesBundle to load fixtures or inside your tests, where it has even more features.

Foundry supports doctrine/orm (with doctrine/doctrine-bundle), doctrine/mongodb-odm (with doctrine/mongodb-odm-bundle) or a combination of these.

How to contribute

Running the Test Suite

The test suite of this library needs one or more databases, then it comes with a docker compose configuration.

Note

Docker and PHP installed locally (with mysql, pgsql & mongodb extensions) is required.

You can start the containers and run the test suite:

# start the container
$ docker compose up --detach

# install dependencies
$ composer update

# run main testsuite (with "schema" reset database strategy)
$ ./phpunit

# run "migrate" testsuite (with "migrate" reset database strategy)
$ ./phpunit --testsuite reset-database

Overriding the default configuration

You can override default environment variables by creating a .env.local file, to easily enable permutations:

# .env.local

# change the database to postgreSQL...
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://zenstruck:zenstruck@127.0.0.1:5433/zenstruck_foundry?serverVersion=15"
# ...or to SQLite
DATABASE_URL="sqlite:///%kernel.project_dir%/var/data.db"

MONGO_URL="" # disables Mongo
USE_DAMA_DOCTRINE_TEST_BUNDLE="1" # enables dama/doctrine-test-bundle
PHPUNIT_VERSION="11" # possible values: 9, 10, 11, 11.4

# test reset database with migrations,
# only relevant for "reset-database" testsuite
MIGRATION_CONFIGURATION_FILE="tests/Fixture/MigrationTests/configs/migration-configuration.php"

# run test suite with postgreSQL
$ vendor/bin/phpunit

The .env.local file can also be used to override the port of the database containers, if it does not meet your local requirements. You'll also need to override docker compose configuration:

Here is an example to use MySQL on port 3308:

# docker-compose.override.yml
version: '3.9'

services:
    mysql:
        ports:
            - "3308:3306"

# .env.local
DATABASE_URL="mysql://root:1234@127.0.0.1:3308/foundry_test?serverVersion=5.7.42"

Run the tests locally faster

As long as you don't want to test Mongo, you can use the following .env.local file to run the tests faster locally:

# dama/doctrine-test-bundle makes Foundry testsuite really faster
USE_DAMA_DOCTRINE_TEST_BUNDLE="1"

# using both ODM and ORM makes the "reset db" mechanism slower
MONGO_URL=""

# Use the last version of PHPUnit
PHPUNIT_VERSION="12"

# Enable all features of Foundry
USE_FOUNDRY_PHPUNIT_EXTENSION="1"

"maker" tests are also quite slow, so you can skip them with using the following command:

$ ./phpunit --exclude-group=maker

Enjoy blazing fast tests! 🚀

Running the documentation linter locally

This section provides guidance on how to run the documentation linter, contained within a Docker image, locally on your machine. This linter is designed to verify and ensure that the document syntax adheres to the required standards.

The following command runs the linter in the local directory:

docker run --rm -it -e DOCS_DIR='/docs' -v ${PWD}/docs:/docs  oskarstark/doctor-rst:latest
