Factory property not working

[gonzalezlopezjm]

Hi, in advance thanks for the hard work in this awesome package!

I'm trying to create objects with the factory property with this YAML

AppBundle\Entity\Media:
  media-1:
    __construct: { AppBundle\Fixture\Factory\MediaFactory::create: ['<username()>']}

But I'm was unable to do this. In all my attemps we obtain the next error:

In TolerantFixtureDenormalizer.php line 68:

  An error occurred while denormalizing the fixture "media-1" (AppBundle\Entity\Media): Could not denormalize the given factory.


In DenormalizerExceptionFactory.php line 28:

  Could not denormalize the given factory.

I figure out that this is related with the data parsing because if I dump the parsed array from the YAML it returns this.

  ["AppBundle\Entity\Media"]=>
  array(1) {
    ["media-1"]=>
    array(1) {
      ["__construct"]=>
      array(1) {
        ["AppBundle\Fixture\Factory\MediaFactory"]=>
        string(24) "create: ['<username()>']"
      }
    }
  }

You can observe that the arguments are an string that is the opposite result that we expected (an array) and this cause the exception throw.

In fact if we change __factory to __construct we obtain other exception:

In SimpleObjectGenerator.php line 114:

  An error occurred while generating the fixture "media-1" (AppBundle\Entity\Media): Notice: Array to string conversion


In ListValueResolver.php line 98:

  Notice: Array to string conversion

I'm using the latest version of your package, and I think that this is a parser bug. I hope that this info will be enought to identify the issue.

Thanks and best regards

Thanks for the report. It's a curious issue, but in the first example, this looks like a YAML parsing issue as:

AppBundle\Entity\Media:
  media-1:
    __construct: { 'AppBundle\Fixture\Factory\MediaFactory::create': ['<username()>']}

is parsed correctly unlike the example you gave. I do not know if it's expected or not but it might be worth checking or alternatively update the documentation to make use of the quotes where appropriate.

I suspect the __factory issue is related

Sorry, I sent the YAML with and error, the correct YAML is:

AppBundle\Entity\Media:
  media-1:
    __factory: { AppBundle\Fixture\Factory\MediaFactory::create: ['<image()>']}

And like you indicated with the quotes works correctly, is enough for me that I think that is a good idea to update the documentation accordly
