I make my first steps in the symfony plugin world, and I'm a bit lost...
I have a live app with a database. Usually, when I need a new table or field I do a migration, by updating my schema.yml, calling the generate-migration-diff and build --all-classes --and-migrate symfony commands.
Today, I need to install a plugin (i.e, sfCombinePlugin) in order to minify my js and css scripts. I installed it via the symfony plugin:install command, it's ok I've got all my files in the plugins folder. I follow the read-me, it says to build the model, so I run the command doctrine:build-model, and a folder sfCombinePlugin appears in my lib/model/doctrine folder.
But now I'm stuck, I need to add the table in my database. In the read- me it says, to generate the sql via doctrine:build-sql, and run the generated sql in my database. But I see some issues coming...
Will it erase my data by running the sql file? I pretty sure it will, because it create the database from scratch...
So, I would like to use a migration, as I do usually. But when I run the generate-migration-diff, it doesn't take in account the schema.yml from the plugin folder. Is it normal or is it a bug?
I've thought of copying the content of the schema.yml plugin inside the schema.yml app file, but I'm not sure this is a good idea, because the model classes will not be in the sfCombinePlugin folder but in the general model folder. And it sounds not good.
