How to change the default fixtures directory?

[dariusmann]

The default fixtures directory is src/DataFixtures.

I want this folder in my src/tests folder.

Where I can configure the library to load the fixture from src/tests/DataFixtures?

Fixtures can be put anywhere you want.

See these examples:

LiipTestFixturesBundle/tests/Test/ConfigMysqlCacheDbTest.php

Lines 50 to 52 in 00cf42e

	$this->databaseTool->loadFixtures([
	'Liip\Acme\Tests\App\DataFixtures\ORM\LoadUserData',
	]);

LiipTestFixturesBundle/tests/Test/ConfigTest.php

Lines 79 to 81 in 00cf42e

	$fixtures = $this->databaseTool->loadAliceFixture([
	'@AcmeBundle/DataFixtures/ORM/user.yml',
	]);

Ok, thanks. Is there any way to configure it in one place? Like global config.

Not at the moment. But you can create a base class with an helper method to use a default path. Then extend that class in each of your test classes and call that method. Example of base class that is extended.
