Reset database before phpunit tests in Symfony 2
Here's a way you can reset the database before running your phpunit tests.
In app/phpunit.xml change the bootstrap file we're going to use:
bootstrap = "my_phpunit_bootstrap.php" >
In my_phpunit_bootstrap.php we import the old bootstrap and add our code to recreate the database and load the fixtures (you could also do this inside your tests):
I also set the test database as pdo_sqlite for faster tests.
Here are some other links I found useful before settling into this solution:
