I have searched the issue list for something similar, but I have not found the exact same issue.

The problem is that, given these two models:

factory :employee do
  # various attributes
end

factory :job do
  association :employee, strategy: :build
end

attributes_for ignores any explicit employee assignments:

attributes_for(:job, employee: some_other_em

As reported in nelmio/alice#176 and hautelook/AliceBundle#240, Faker password provider may use the character @ which leads alice to think that there's a reference.

A fix would be to provide a way to escape any string, which could be done in v3 only and should be discussed in #377, another easier way is to create a custom faker provider which r

I would like to change time.Location of date, but cannot change because of this code.

This was quite the challenge to debug so I'm just putting it here, at least for Google to find. It's very simple and perfectly uinderstandable if you know about it.

TLDR If you're persisting fixtures for use in tests, note that some Doctrine's lifecycle events such as postLoad will not fire if you're testing loading those items (or have custom handlers).

Reason is simple: you're fetchi

If I want to insert faker data to database, what should I do?
I add the following code in my application configuration (console.php):

'controllerMap' => [
    'fixture' => [
        'class' => '@tests\faker\FixtureController',
    ],
],

And I rewrite the actionGenerate in @tests\faker\FixtureController. Is it right?

For properties like bulb type or lens name (or also DMX connector?), the QLC+ import plugin shouldn't import the "Other" value since almost all QLC+ fixtures have this as default, so it doesn't give us any information. Instead, it should simply omit these properties.
