[Bundles] DoctrineFixturesBundle is missing ODM related information

[tarlepp]

See this issue doctrine/DoctrineMongoDBBundle#600

I'm not sure if DoctrineFixturesBundle should contain any ODM related documentation: while the name suggests that it takes care of fixtures for more projects, it only handles fixtures for ORM. ODM fixture functionality is completely contained in DoctrineMongoDBBundle.

[tarlepp]

hmm, true but there isn't really documentation for ODM fixtures under Bundles related to Doctrine project https://symfony.com/doc/bundles/ so maybe we need to to change that part to cover ODM related stuff too?

eg. currently https://symfony.com/doc/current/bundles/DoctrineMongoDBBundle/index.html doesn't contain anything about fixtures.

And for that I think that it would be more clearer to users if that DoctrineFixturesBundle documentation says that this bundle is for Doctrine ORM and not for ODM.

@alcaeus what do you think about doing the same with DoctrineBundle and ORM fixtures?

[alcaeus]

It's on my list of things - I wanted to start making some plans to treat ORM and ODM the same. The idea is to either move common functionality to DoctrineBridge and have an ORMFixturesBundle and ODMFixturesBundle (to avoid optional dependencies in the respective mapper bundles), or have a generic bundle and provide extra packages for mapper-specific glue code. It's on the table, but time is a severe constraint at the moment.

Closing in favor of doctrine/DoctrineFixturesBundle#321

@tarlepp, did you find a way to get fixtures working using the DoctrineMongoDBBundle? Or is there any other way of writing fixtures for MongoDB which you could recommend?

Nope, that doctrine/DoctrineFixturesBundle is not for ODM, I'm not sure if there is separated package for ODM.

Nope, the functionality is built into the doctrine/DoctrineMongoDBBundle, but requires the user to require the doctrine/data-fixtures package. See the doctrine:mongodb:fixtures:load command for more details.
