Test and Dev Enviroment on same machine in Symfony Flex / Symfony 4 - symfony

Can I put my databse configuration in a configuration file in config/packages/test/ somehow?
I want to run my tests on my development PC and do the dev work in parallel.
In Symfony 3 I had 2 configurations files
config_test.yaml and config_dev.yaml
where I could put in 2 different database connections.
Now the database connection is in the .env File, so I can not have 2 of them.
I also need to run my fixtures and database helpers and the 2 databases (dev and test) seperatly:
php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force --env=dev
php bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load --no-interaction --env=dev

the solution was to remove the databse connection from the .env file and move it into seperated config files again:
config/packages/dev/doctrine.yaml:
parameters:
DATABASE_URL: 'mysql://root#localhost:3306/database'
and
config/packages/test/doctrine.yaml:
parameters:
DATABASE_URL: 'mysql://root#localhost:3306/database_test'
and inthe main doctrine configuration file config/packages/doctrine.yaml:
doctrine:
dbal:
url: '%DATABASE_URL%'
also in phpunit.xml.dist:
<env name="DATABASE_URL" value="mysql://root#localhost:3306/database_test" />
Now you can have your test and dev environment on the same system and your databse is not polluted by testing data and you can update your databases with:
php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force --env=dev
php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force --env=test

Symfony 4 doctrine use cache even in development environment

I am in development mode (APP_ENV=dev in .env), and everytime I change entities and run the 'make:migration' command, it returns me that there is no database changes.
After I run the 'cache:clear' command, it takes the changes into account and makes the migration file.
It's quite annoying. Do you have any idea from where it could come ?
I use the 'symfony server:start' to run the dev server, maybe it comes from here ?
If this is an annotation cache from a bundle that causing the issue, simple cache:clear might not help. Did you try do run doctrine:migration:diff?
You can also try to use --flush with your commands:
php bin/console doctrine:cache:clear-query --env=dev --flush
php bin/console doctrine:cache:clear-result --env=dev --flush
php bin/console doctrine:cache:clear-metadata --env=dev --flush
Update after comments:
What I meant, the complete way you use to deploy the entity changes.
As per Symfony 4, an entity update flow might look like below:
Update your entity class - your php/annotation changes
Clearing ALL Metadata cache entries
php bin/console doctrine:cache:clear-metadata
Generate a migration by comparing your current database to your mapping information.
php bin/console doctrine:migrations:diff
View the status of a set of migrations
php bin/console doctrine:migrations:status
Deploy migration
php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate --all-or-nothing
using option --all-or-nothing multiple migrations ran at the same time will be wrapped in a single transaction.
If one migration fails, all migrations will be rolled back.
More about migrations from official source: https://symfony.com/doc/master/bundles/DoctrineMigrationsBundle/index.html

Hope this will help and fix your issue.

Schema:update for test environnement

With Symfony 4.2 and Doctrine, I have two .env files :
.env
DATABASE_URL=mysql://me:password#127.0.0.1:3306/base
.env.test
DATABASE_URL=mysql://me:password#127.0.0.1:3306/base_test
If I do the php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force command : base is updated. ✓
If I do the php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force --env=test command : base_test is not updated. ✘ I have this message in my console :
[OK] Nothing to update - your database is already in sync with the current entity metadata.
As from the official documentation you should place APP_ENV=test in the .env.test file and run command like so
APP_ENV=test php bin/console command_name

How to migrate the Symfony demo app from sqlite to pdo_mysql

I've just installed Symfony demo and it works like a charm. Then I was wondering why there is no question in the process of installing it? and I found that it uses a blog.sqlite file for its posts.
My question is how can I migrate from sqlite to pdo_mysql and what are necessary steps?
Thanks.
This demo application uses an embedded SQLite database to simplify setup, if you don't want to use SQLite, change the URL in parameters.yml or set the DATABASE_URL environment variable.
MySQL example:
# app/config/parameters.yml
parameters:
env(DATABASE_URL): 'mysql://user:pass#127.0.0.1:3306/symfony_demo'
Note: Make sure to use the correct user and pass credentials to connect to DB server.
You can also create the database and load the sample data from the command line:
$ cd symfony-demo/
$ php bin/console doctrine:database:create
$ php bin/console doctrine:schema:create
$ php bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load

Generating proxies with Doctrine

I have cleared my symfony2 application and now cannot run the application because cannot generate proxies for entities from the command line while a few have actually been generated by default.
I have tried to run the command below which usually did the trick in earlier versions of symfony/ doctrine:
php bin/console doctrine:ensure-production-settings --no-debug --env=prod
But this time I only get the following response:
Query Cache uses a non-persistent cache driver, Doctrine\Common\Cache\ArrayCache.
Anyone know how to solve this?
Try
php bin/console cache:warmup --env=prod --no-debug
How ever the command you are trying
php bin/console doctrine:ensure-production-settings --no-debug --env=prod
is not for generating proxies, but for verifying that Doctrine is properly configured for a production environment.
And to actually to make sure you are ready for production , you need to use one of the cache drivers mentioned here
.

Name conflict in Doctrine after changing database name

Since I changed my main database name in Symfony, I cannot get things to work
as some part of Doctrine (I still haven't found out which) is still stuck with
the old name despite all my updates.
Here are the updates I tried :
Using php bin/console doctrine:database:drop --force followed by
php bin/console doctrine:database:create to try to "restart from scratch"
Destroying app/config/parameters.yml.dist and putting the new database
name in app/config/parameters.yml
Invoking php bin/console cache:clear and php bin/console doctrine:cache:clear-metadata and php bin/console doctrine:cache:clear-query and app/console doctrine:cache:clear-result
What did I forget to update ?
UPDATE : the current answer suggests using php bin/console doctrine:schema:create but does not specify when I should do it. A "restart from scratch" procedure would go something like this :
1. php bin/console doctrine:database:drop --force
2. php bin/console doctrine:database:create
3. php bin/console doctrine:generate:entities MyBundle:MyEntity
4. php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force
5. php bin/console doctrine:schema:validate
Where should I insert php bin/console doctrine:schema:create in this
sequence ?
Create schema using doctrine:schema:create Check for any errors occuring. You need to establish if there is a configuration error or just sync issue
EDIT:
If you have already code with entites you dont need to run step 3,
just create schema instead. Use phpmyadmin to see what is happening on the database side to establis if database/tables are created. As long as you have correct settings on the both sides eg. user set in databse with create db privillages and same user in config file symfony side all should work correctly.
