Research direction

Start with content/6.deployment/3.ci-cd.md and compare it with components-web-app commit c06c04c and MR !11. Search the documentation for pages describing fixture loading, then update the job list, FIXTURES_PURGE behavior, and post-load cache flushing; done means all relevant pages match the GitLab and GitHub behavior described in the issue.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

components-web-app c06c04c (MR !11) changes how fixture jobs work. content/6.deployment/3.ci-cd.md needs updating, along with any page about loading fixtures.

  • Staging has no fixture job any more, on GitLab or GitHub. Staging runs under the production environment and shares production's database, so a fixture load there would write to production. Remove load fixtures staging from the job list.

  • FIXTURES_PURGE (a new CI variable, default "false") makes a fixture job empty the database before loading, so a changed scaffold can be reloaded:

    • review apps: "true" (or "force");
    • production: only "force". "true" prints a notice and appends.

    Only the fixture job reads it, never a deploy or pod start. On GitHub, the fixture step runs after every deploy while ENABLE_DATABASE_FIXTURES is set, so with both set, every review deploy (or manual production run) purges.

  • Every fixture load ends by flushing the whole HTTP cache (silverback:api-components:purge-http-cache), so reloaded content isn't served stale from Souin.

  • Appending is still the default, and it still stops at the first existing route on a seeded database. Making appends idempotent is api-components-bundle#319.
