If there's already answer to my question then sorry and please point me in the right direction because I can't find anything.
Let's say I have two Bundles. Each bundle has fixures.yml file and loader file. Loaders and fixtures are working fine when they are not depending on each other.
However when I am referencing fixtureA from fixtureB I get duplicated record in database.
E.g:
user_{1..10}:
email (unique): '<firstName()>+<randomNumber()>@gmail.com'
plainPassword: 'secret'
story_{1..10}:
user: "@user_<current()>"
title: '<word>'
When they are in separated files - duplicated row. When they are in the same file everything is ok.
Why it's being loaded twice?
I even tried this:
$objects = Fixtures::load(__DIR__ . '/fixtures.yml', $manager, ['persist_once'=>true]);
No luck.
Evey time I am trying to use user object in story fixtures alice tries to save it into db again.
Best Regards, Robert
I did a little research and talked to people - it looks like it's a possible bug. You can learn more here:

Also I would like to share my work around:
I wanted to keep things separated and clean. Instead of keeping all fixtures in one file in one bundle you can move it to App/DataFixtures/ORM directory. However Symfony will not look for fixtures in this directory. You can:
add path to the fixtures in console command:
doctrine:fixtures:load --fixtures=/var/www/story/app/DataFixtures/ORM
create alias for above solution
I hope this will help if you have similar issue.
