Feature: Add a flag to allow duplicate entities in seeds about typeorm-extension

[MINDoSOFT]

First of all, thank you for replying !

OK, as far as I understand when you set seedTracking to true it allows you to run the same seed multiple times.

Actually my issue is different.

Let me give you an example scenario.

I have two different files:

• microserviceASeeds.ts
• microserviceBSeeds.ts

microserviceASeeds has seeds for EntityA.
microserviceBSeeds has seeds for EntityA again, and EntityB. (they are test data)

With current implementation of typeorm-extension, running this seeds using seed:run cli command, fails because 'checkForDuplicates' throws exception.

Is it possible to skip the checkForDuplicates validation in seed:run ? By providing another cli flag, maybe it can be named 'allowDuplicateEntities' ?

Thanks again.

Strange. It can only be a duplicate if the class name is the same. That is everything, the checkDuplicates function ensures and that should also never happen.
Could you provide a minimal reproduction repo?

[MINDoSOFT]

Yes sir, you are correct. :)

It was indeed my issue, I had duplicate class names by mistake.

Thanks again for your time and very fast response !

It is possible to define that a seeder is only executed once.
This can either be set globally using the seedTacking option or locally using the track property of a seeder class.

You are very welcome.
By default, you should be able to execute a seeer mulitple times.

You are welcome!
When you set seedTracking to true, the seeder will not be executed more than once.
Ah now I get the problem. Your seeder class name might be the same, what shouldn't be the case

[MINDoSOFT]

The seeder class names are different.
It is the entities used in the seeders that might be the same, at least that is my scenario.

One entity class might be used in multiple seeders.

Hope it is clear.
