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.
