Handling the doctrine-fixtures interface update error

Got the following error after updating doctrine-fixtures:

Fatal error: Declaration of Translator\GFBundle\DataFixtures\ORM\StatementTranslationFixtures::load() must be compatible with that of Doctrine\Common\DataFixtures\FixtureInterface::load()

It turns out that doctrine-fixtures changed their interface for the load function from:

 interface FixtureInterface
    {
        load($manager);
    }

To:
use Doctrine\Common\Persistence\ObjectManager;

    interface FixtureInterface
    {
        load(ObjectManager $manager);
    }


... as seen in the included text file named "UPGRADE".


Solution:


To update your fixture files, simply add the "use" line in your fixtures file, and change all of your load() functions to include the ObjectManager bit.


Example:

... (other use statements) ...

load($manager){

  ... (code to load stuff ) ...

}

To:

... (other use statements) ...

use Doctrine\Common\Persistence\ObjectManager;

load(ObjectManager $manager){

  ... (code to load stuff) ...

}
