propel-dump-data/propel-load-data bug? [message #25566]

Hi folks. I'm having an issue with dumping and loading data. I'm finding that if I've got a colon ( : ) in the value for a field, the loadData routine interprets it as an array, and the value that gets loaded for that field is simply the text "Array".

This only seems to be happening for single line entries in the fixtures yaml file that propel-dump-data generates. For example, the following would be problematic:

Event:
  Event_1:
    title: Radiohead: Live In Boston

Yet, the following works fine:

Event:
  Event_2:
    title: >
      Radiohead: Live In Boston

Furthermore, the following also works fine:

Event:
  Event_3:
    title: "Radiohead: Live In Boston"

Anyone come across this issue, and know a simple workaround (aside from writing a script that cleans up propel-dump-data's output)?

Looks like a YAML syntax related problem. Have you looked through the YAML documentation?

I guess it depends where propel-dump-data comes from. If this is a symfony route that creates the YAML file, then raise a ticket here. Otherwise you may wish to post a message to the Propel mailing list to register the bug with them, if applicable.

I guess part of my confusion is that I don't know exactly where the lines between Symfony and its included tools are drawn. For something like this, I don't know whose responsibility (symfony / propel / spyc) it is to prepare the data for dumping, and I'm sure that representatives from each of those parties would argue the point as well.

So for now, I've just added this awfully ugly hack to sfPropelData's dumpData():

    if (isset($values[$col]) && preg_match('/\:/', $values[$col]) && strlen($values[$col]) < 40) {
      $values[$col] = '"'.$values[$col].'"';
    }

It's obviously not ideal, but it's saving me a lot of headaches.

I think you've answered the question as to whose responsibility it is: if it can be fixed in sfPropelData, then it is a symfony responsibility (note the "sf" prefix). I recommend you raise a ticket on this topic, if one does not exist already.
