With data fixtures we can do actual seeding of the test database.

The data fixtures can be loaded into the database using the `application:fixtures:load` command. All existing records are `TRUNCATE`d from the database to ensure a clean start. --- Unfortunately, adding the data fixtures for (sub)decisions has proved to be quite difficult. As such, these have been removed. The WIP can be found in GEWIS/gewisweb#1913. There is an issue with the "hydration" of the entities when they are added to the database. I have not seen this issue in GEWISDB, but the cause appears to be the usage of `BackedEnum`s as part of a composite key (which forms the foundation for our (sub)decision entities and relations). Either the enum cannot be cast to string while being saved to the database. Or when using custom mapping types (see the PR mentioned) above the value cannot be properly restored from the database. The latter can then also be fixed with another patch for ORM (see GEWIS/orm@8031547), however, this may break other things. This patch can probably also be applied in reverse, such that we do not need the custom mapping types. However, this has not (yet) been tested. As such, this has to be investigated more and potentially a bug report must be submitted to Doctrine ORM to get this fixed.

Description
The data fixtures can be loaded into the database using the
application:fixtures:loadcommand. All existing records areTRUNCATEd from the database to ensure a clean start.Unfortunately, adding the data fixtures for (sub)decisions has proved to be quite difficult. As such, these have been removed. The WIP can be found in GEWIS/gewisweb#1913.
There is an issue with the "hydration" of the entities when they are added to the database. I have not seen this issue in GEWISDB, but the cause appears to be the usage of
BackedEnums as part of a composite key (which forms the foundation for our (sub)decision entities and relations).Either the enum cannot be cast to string while being saved to the database. Or when using custom mapping types (see the PR mentioned) above the value cannot be properly restored from the database. The latter can then also be fixed with another patch for ORM (see GEWIS/orm@8031547), however, this may break other things. This patch can probably also be applied in reverse, such that we do not need the custom mapping types. However, this has not (yet) been tested.
