Fixture Check

Compare your fixture files against the live database schema — fields and attributes, constraints and indexes — and get the bake commands needed to update any that have drifted.

Deprecated

Prefer Fixture Factories over static fixtures for new code. This tool helps maintain existing fixtures.

bash

bin/cake fixture_check

Useful options

Option	Meaning
`-p`	Plugin
`-t`	Type to run: `fields`, `constraints`, `indexes` (none = all)
`-c`	Connection (switch from the default DB to another)
`-f`	Specific fixtures to check (comma-separated list)
`-s`	Strict mode, includes collation

By default it only checks your app level. Wrap it in a composer script to also cover your important plugins:

json

{
    "scripts": {
        "fixture_check": [
            "bin/cake fixture_check",
            "bin/cake fixture_check -p MyPlugin"
        ]
    }
}

Then run it as composer fixture_check.
