Hi, the symfony console make:factroy command is not defined, I'm with symfony 6.3.x what can I replace it with ? Thanks

I must install this bundle -> composer require zenstruck/foundry --dev

1 |

Victor SFCASTS pasquale_pellicani 3 years ago edited

Hey @pasquale_pellicani ,

Yep, you need to install that bundle - that's how MakerBundle works, it does not have all possible dependencies and suggests you install specific ones on the go when you're trying to use more features. Good catch!

Cheers!

Hello,

I want to ask about installing fixtures system. In symfony 5, we are using " symfony console make:fixtures" command to install it. However, in symfony 7, there is another command " composer require --dev orm-fixtures". Are these both same purpose or is there any even small diffference? Can we use whichever we want?
To install factory, I need to use command " composer require --dev factory". After this command, we are able to create factory in symfony 7. Is it same in symfony 5? I see only symfony console make:factory command in this video.

thank you for clarify:)

|

Victor SFCASTS Mahmut-A 1 year ago

Hey Mahmut,

You're misleading commands with different purposes: symfony console make:fixtures is a Symfony console command indeed is used to make a fixtures file, while composer require --dev orm-fixtures is a completely different Composer command that is used to install some package dependencies to your project, in particular it installs some Doctrine bundles, including ORM and fixtures bundle. I.e. if you don't have fixtures bundle in your project - you will not be able to run that make:fixtures bundle at all unless instal the bundle that is responsible for fixtures :)
Yes, that should be so, you should make sure you have that "factory" installed before being able to create Foundry factories in your project. However, if you already have the foundry installed in your project - than make:factory will just work for you, so no need to run that composer require --dev factory. Moreover, if you have Foundry lib already installed - then running this command will do nothing, because nothing new to install for you project, you already have that dependency :)

I hope that clarify things for you :)

Cheers!

If you are considering a CRM system with member information, what is the best practice for saving the member's detailed information and relation to other entities?

Should they be added directly to the User Class or should I link them to another entity?

|

kbond SFCASTS Mahmoud-A 2 years ago

Hey @Mahmoud-A,

Good question! Are the member details shared between users in any way? If not, you could consider a one-to-one relationship but that's probably overkill to start. So I'd add these fields directly to the User and let performance dictate whether another entity is required later.

The CRM's I've worked with have had the concept of a Company, which has Locations (or Branches), then these Locations have Users (or Employees).

Company: McDonalds
Location: Main St., Orlando
User: John Smith

Dear SymfonyCasts,
I am reaching out to report an issue I encountered while utilizing the SymfonyCasts website with a screen reader. Specifically, I am experiencing difficulty in downloading the course code despite multiple attempts to do so.

Outlined below are the steps I followed, provided from the perspective of a screen reader user:
1. Navigated to the top of the website by pressing CTRL + HOME.
2. Focused on the main heading "Customizing the User Class" by pressing 1 on the alphanumeric row.
3. Moved focus to an unlabeled button preceding the main heading using SHIFT + TAB.
4. Accessed a menu containing four items ("Course Code," "This Video," "Subtitles," and "Course Script") by pressing the spacebar.
5. Attempted to initiate the download by pressing SPACEBAR on the "Course Code" link. Unfortunately, the download did not commence, and the menu closed immediately after the action.
6. Additionally, attempting to copy the link of the "Course Code" resulted in "javascript:void(0)" being copied to the clipboard instead of the expected link.

Furthermore, I encountered a similar issue with the course code link in the "Unit Testing With a Byte" course. Despite numerous attempts, I was unable to download the code. Ultimately, I resorted to obtaining the code from GitHub. However, it took a considerable amount of time to know that downloading from GitHub was an available option.

Request: For future courses, please include the GitHub link to the initial course code. This would greatly benefit both screen reader and normal users.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Easwaran Chinraj

MolloKhan SFCASTS Easwaran_Chinraj 2 years ago edited

Hey @Easwaran_Chinraj

Have you tried to press "Enter" instead of "Spacebar" to download the course code? I managed to download it that way, but I'm on Google Chrome, I'm not sure if that makes a difference

Easwaran_Chinraj MolloKhan 2 years ago

Dear Mollo Khan and leannapelham,

Thank you for dedicating your invaluable time to this matter. I apologize for any inconvenience caused by taking up hours and days of your precious time unintentionally. Unfortunately, I can't fully explain the issue here in the comments section, so I've sent an email to hello@symfonycasts.com with more details.

Cheers,

Hi, I have a problem with fixtures.

when I run:

symfony console doctrine:fixtures:load

it works fine the first time, but the second time, it gives me this error:

In ExceptionConverter.php line 56:

  An exception occurred while executing a query: SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1451 Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails (`main`.`mark
  eting_channel`, CONSTRAINT `FK_914D5C835B625FA` FOREIGN KEY (`parent_channel_id`) REFERENCES `marketing_channel` (`id`))

etc...

It's from a marketingChannel > marketingChannel relation.

I put die('asdf'); in the fixture load(), but it never reaches this command. It appears to be due to the "purge" command from the fixtures command (when it runs). It appears this command is not intelligently deleting my marketingChannel records.

Any idea how I could fix this? I tried orphanRemoval too, but it didn't work.

|

Victor SFCASTS Cameron 2 years ago

Hey Cameron,

First, make sure you have valid mapping, run:

symfony console doctrine:schema:validate

to see all green.

Also, maybe try onDelete="CASCADE" for the relations that cannot be deleted.

Cheers!

|

Cameron Cameron 2 years ago

I got the stack trace (but not the sql query).

It looks like it has to do with the ORMpurger not deleting fixtures correctly.

Where are all these files coming from in the AppFixtures? Did you just create them? I can't find where they are coming from following your tutorials.. they just exist.

use App\Entity\Answer;
use App\Entity\Question;
use App\Entity\Tag;
use App\Factory\AnswerFactory;
use App\Factory\QuestionFactory;
use App\Factory\QuestionTagFactory;
use App\Factory\TagFactory;
use App\Factory\UserFactory;

Victor SFCASTS Ramon-F 2 years ago

Hey Ramon,

Yes, those files are already exist in this course. They come from past tutorials from the fundamental section: https://symfonycasts.com/tracks/symfony5#the-fundamentals - we base every new tutorial on the previous one.

Cheers!

Szymon 3 years ago

Hey,
Maybe silly question but I can't figure out how to display symfony console doctrine:query:sql 'SELECT * FROM user'<br /> in the same array format like in video? :)))

Victor SFCASTS Szymon 3 years ago

Hey Szymon,

It seems you can't anymore :) They output is displayed in a table now instead of a raw dump as it was before.

Philipp 3 years ago

For some reason, the "doctrine:fixtures:load" command fails with my PostgresSQL container. I get the error

SQLSTATE[42601]: Syntax error: 7 ERROR:  syntax error at or near "user"  LINE 1: INSERT INTO user (id, name, email, roles, created_at, update...`
LINE 1: INSERT INTO user (id, name, email, roles, created_at, update...

Question: Is there a way I can tell Doctrine to use "user" instead of user for that Entity?
Or do I need to rename the Entity to something else?

I've tried to apply the quotes via an annotation #[ORM\Table(name: '"user"')] but that caused a different error

SQLSTATE[42602]: Invalid name: 7 ERROR:  invalid name syntax  
LINE 1: SELECT NEXTVAL('"user"_id_seq')

|

Victor SFCASTS Philipp 3 years ago

Hey Philipp,

Yeah, most probably that's because of that table name, user is a reserved word in PostgreSql. You need to rename that table to something, like app_user.

Another trick, you might try to use ticks around the table name, i.e. use `, instead of ":

#[ORM\Table(name: '`user`')]

It might also work, though I've never tried it in PostgreSql, though in MySQL it worked. But safer would be not use reserved words at all, better use a unique name :)

Cheers!

Philipp Victor 3 years ago

Thanks for the clarification, Victor!
As you suggested, I could solve the issue by renaming the DB table via an annotation + recreating the DB schema

#[ORM\Table(name: 'app_user')]
class User implements UserInterface { ...

Awesome, thanks for confirming it works for you!

hey ! I have a error

|

Victor SFCASTS Anass benyetho 4 years ago

Hey Anass,

It looks like you already have that "status" column. Please, try to validate your DB schema with:
$ symfony console doctrine:schema:validate

If it's not OK - try to apply the required changes, to know what queries you need to execute - see:

$ symfony console doctrine:schema:update --dump-sql

Of if you're working locally and don't worry about losing your data in the DB - instead you can run:

$ symfony console doctrine:schema:update --force

Cheers!

In case anyone else runs into an error trying to run the simple query at the end try using double quotes around the SQL statement instead of single quotes.

|

Victor SFCASTS akincer 4 years ago

Hey Aaron,

Thanks for this tip! Are you talking about "symfony console doctrine:query:sql 'SELECT * FROM user'" command? It somehow does not work for you with single quotes around the SQL query? I wonder what OS do you use and what terminal?

Cheers!

|

akincer Victor 4 years ago

Yes that's the command I'm talking about. When running it on the DOS console on Windows 10 using single quotes it throws an error but with double quotes it does not.
