How to choose locale for STOF translatable with NelmioAliceBundle Fixture in Symfony

Question

Hy,

For some time know I have an issue with my test scenario. I use behat/mink ~2.0 and Nelmio/Alice ^2.x in my Symfony project. On some of my project I use the doctrine extension translatable to manage i18n on my buisness entity.

When alice persist my fixture he seems to ignore my default_locale parameter and will always create them with en as locale value.

In order to test my locale switcher I need a way to choose my locale for the project in test environnement or/and persist fixture with different locale.

My fixture are wright as follow

AcmmeBundle\CoreBundle\Entity\Universe:

universe1:
    title: <word()>
    templates: [@template1]
    collections: [@collection1, @collection2]
    categories: [@category1, @category2]

Load in my test like this

@alice(User)
@alice(Category)
@alice(Collection)
@alice(Universe)

@alice(Page)
@alice(HomePage)

@reset-schema
@javascript

Feature: I test api GET /api/someEntity

And my behat.yml.dist

default:
autoload:
     '': features/bootstrap
suites:
     default:
         contexts:
             - Victoire\Tests\Features\Context\FeatureContext

Answer 1

Well actually the answer was realy simple. Just by using fixture for Translation class

 universeTranslation1:
    title: <word()>
    locale: fr
    translatable: @universe1

universeTranslation2:
    title: <word()>
    locale: en
    translatable: @universe1

universeTranslation3:
    title: <word()>
    locale: fr
    translatable: @universe2

universeTranslation4:
    title: <word()>
    locale: en
    translatable: @universe2
