array values are ignored when field is a CollectionValuedAssociation

When assigning an array of entities to a collection field, these values are simply ignored:

    if ($metadata->isCollectionValuedAssociation($fieldName)) {
            $metadata->setFieldValue($ent, $fieldName, new ArrayCollection());
    }
    .....

Get multiple Objects at once

To get a whole list of objects, a "get many" method would be super.

E.g.:

$items = $this->factory->getList('MyEntity', 10);
// items is an array with ten MyEntity instances

Named/Inherited Factories

Hi there,

how do you guys feel about named and inherited factories?

Say we have an entity MyEntity:

class MyEntity
{
    public $name;
    public $active = true;
}

And define the Factory:

$this->factory->defineEntity('MyEntity', [
    'name' => 'paul',
    'active' => true,
]);

I find myself wanting to extend given factories in more complex scenarios.

So how about some way to name different Factories of the same Entity e.g.:

$this->factory->defineEntity('MyEntity::inactive', [
    'name' => 'paul',
    'active' => false,
]);

// get a factory
$this->factory->get('MyEntity::inactive')

And to not have to repeat the 'name' => 'paul' it would be convenient to be able to have some form of inheritance.

Is anything like this in the works?

Factory does not work with entity class inheritance

For some reason I cannot figure out yet why the class metadata fetched by the \Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager::getClassMetadata() does not contain any of the properties defined in the superclass.
For example I'm unable to generate a \FOS\UserBundle\Model descendants factory due to required emailCanonical field being defined in the superclass, not in my implementation (which I'm building the factory against).

make a release

A conservative 0.1.0 maybe?

Reference with many elements

Hi folks,

I'm trying to get SpaceShip factory build more than one Person. I only found Person -> SpaceShip test but no one SpaceShip -> ArrayCollection([Person, Person]).

There is any way to get FieldDef::sequence() build relations to a one2many relation?

Thanks
