Symfony 3.3 Doctrine Fixtures Load skipping SQL views - sql-server

Question

I'm trying to use SQL views with Doctrine.
Everything works fine so far, but I have a problem when running a basic fixtures load (with no options). I get the following error messages.
[Doctrine\DBAL\DBALException]
An exception occurred while executing 'DELETE FROM gp_items':
SQLSTATE[42000]: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server][SQL Server]View or function 'gp_items' is not updatable
because the modification affects multiple base tables.
[Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOException]
SQLSTATE[42000]: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server][SQL Server]View or function 'gp_items' is not updatable
because the modification affects multiple base tables.
[PDOException]
SQLSTATE[42000]: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server][SQL Server]View or function 'gp_items' is not updatable
because the modification affects multiple base tables.
I looked at the code that loads the fixtures from the bundle ("doctrine/doctrine-fixtures-bundle": "^2.3") and I think I have to alter something to the ORMPurger (Doctrine\Common\DataFixtures\Purger) but I'm not sure how to go about that.
So I would like to know how to override a function in that specific class.
Cheers!

Answer 1

Ok,
So I decided to fork the DoctrineFixturesBundle and use my own version of it in my project.
https://github.com/jbonnier/DoctrineFixturesBundle
In order for composer to use it, I modified my composer.json file adding the following code before the last closing bracket.
,
"repositories": [
{
"type": "vcs",
"url": "https://github.com/jbonnier/DoctrineFixturesBundle"
}
]
I also change my require-dev statement to use my personnal branch.
"require-dev": {
"doctrine/doctrine-fixtures-bundle": "dev-jbonnier",
...
}
EDIT:
Additional explanation.
I'm currently working with version v2.4.1 of the bundle.
Here's the change I made to it.
File : Command/LoadDataFixturesDoctrineCommand.php
Changed line 113
from
$purger = new ORMPurger($em);
to
$purger = new ORMPurger($em, $this->listViews($input->getOption('em')));
Add function to class after line 136
/**
* Return an array with all views names in the database.
*
* #return array
*/
protected function listViews($entityManager)
{
$em = $this->getContainer()->get('doctrine')->getManager($entityManager);
$conn = $em->getConnection();
$sm = $conn->getSchemaManager();
$views = $sm->listViews();
$rst = array();
foreach ($views as $view)
{
array_push($rst, $view->getName());
}
return $rst;
}

I had a similar problem. I was lazy so I did the workaround to load our fixtures this way.
I you find a clean solution I'm interested
bin/console -e=test doctrine:database:drop --if-exists --force
bin/console -e=test doctrine:database:create --if-not-exists --no-interaction
bin/console -e=test doctrine:migrations:migrate --no-interaction
bin/console -e=test doctrine:fixtures:load --append --no-interaction
