Symfony 2.3.6 and doctrine-fixtures-bundle?

Question

I'm learning Symfony with a french tutorial. I need then to install doctrine-fixtures-bundle, but here is the result of my composer.phar update : http://pastebin.com/55k3zKUQ (kind of big to shows it on stackoverflow)

It seems that the latest version of doctrine-fixtures-bundle doesn't support Symfony 2.3.6. Am I right? How could I install doctrince fixture bundle on my symfony project?

Here's my composer.json : http://pastebin.com/CpccRyid

You problem isn't the doctrine fixtures bundle, another package (jms/di-extra-bundle) is complaining about the versions.

You should always skip a lot stuff from the composer error, the first thing you should read is:

jms/di-extra-bundle 1.1.0 requires symfony/framework-bundle 2.1.*

Here you see that the jms/di-extra-bundle version 1.1.0 package symfony/framework-bundle version 2.1.* required (in other words, it requires symfony 2.1). You have installed symfony 2.3.x.

Then you read further:

jms/di-extra-bundle 1.1.1 requires symfony/finder 2.1.*

So if we take version 1.1.1, it doesn't require symfony/framework-bundle 2.1, but symfony/finder 2.1.*. The result is the same: We should install symfony 2.1 and not 2.3.

Then you go to the package page to see if there is a version which supports symfony 2.3. And yes, for the latest stable version (1.4.0) the list of dependencies looks like:

jms/aop-bundle: >=1.0.0,<1.2-dev
jms/metadata: 1.*
symfony/framework-bundle: ~2.1
symfony/process: ~2.1
symfony/finder: ~2.1

~2.1 means at least 2.1.0. It will match each 2.* version, so 2.3 is supported to. So, you just need to replace 1.1.* in your composer.json for the jms/di-extra-bundle to 1.4.* and then update the packages with the update command.
