Second and next requests in tests reloads entities from doctrine entity manager

Inizia con il modulo Doctrine2 e la relativa dipendenza Symfony, utilizzando il flusso di test fornito con rebootable_client abilitato per riprodurre i cambiamenti dell’identità dell’entità tra le richieste. Traccia il ciclo di vita dell’entity manager e della richiesta, quindi verifica che l’istanza dell’entità recuperata inizialmente venga riutilizzata nella seconda richiesta e in quelle successive senza rompere il workaround documentato di nuovo recupero.

What are you trying to achieve?

All requests should use same instances of entities during the test.

What do you get instead?

Second and subsequent requests reloads entities which causes instances within test to be different from those that are used within those requests.

<?php

public function test(\Codeception\Actor $tester)
{
	$instance = $tester->grabEntityFromRepository(Foo::class, ['id' => 1]); // spl_object_hash: 000000006cf7be51000000007baa4f48
	$tester->sendPUT('/foo'); // spl_object_hash: 000000006cf7be51000000007baa4f48 same as first
	$tester->sendPUT('/foo'); // spl_object_hash: 000000006cf7b6b0000000007baa4f48 different than previous
	$tester->sendPUT('/foo'); // spl_object_hash: 000000006cf7b5c0000000007baa4f48 different than previous

	// $instance here has different values than those used within second and any subsequent request
}

Workaround

In order to get latest version of the entity we have to "re-grab" it from repository:

<?php
$instance = $tester->grabEntityFromRepository(Foo::class, ['id' => 1]); // spl_object_hash: 000000006cf7b5c0000000007baa4f48 is same as in last request

But it would be better to reuse the first instance the same way first request does.
