Function in DataFixture class always return null but works in Controller

Question

My function findByDimensions() works correctly in Controller but if I use it in the DataFixture class, it always returns null.

Code in controller:

$manager = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager();
$smRepository = $manager->getRepository('Something\Repository');
$smRepository->findByDimensions(1, 2);

I got the correct object here. But if I use it in DataFixture class, I always get null:

public function load(ObjectManager $manager) {
....
$smRepository = $manager->getRepository('Something\Repository');
$smRepository->findByDimensions(1, 2);
....
}

Where should be the mistake? The first manager is of the class EntityManager, the second is ObjectManager from DataFixture class.

Is the second code (DataFixture class) maybe executed in the Symfony test environment and using a different database? — sebbo

When you're loading fixtures your database is empty.

This is cause by purging on doctrine:fixtures:load You can check this out:

doctrine:fixtures:load --append

How do you work when an Entity has a relationship with another? Because you would need to put something on the Foreign Key. Do you need to create those other entities on the fly?
