Fixture YML using several time the same {@ref}

[Ashk2a]

Hi, in this example we have :

event_1:
  id: 1
  name: "event 1"
event_2:
  id: 2
  name: "event_2"

When I try this, only one record is register inside the database (I use SQLite)

something_{@event_1}:
  id: 1
  event: <current()>
something_{@event_1}_test:
  id: 2
  event: <current()>

But it's working when this :

something_{@event_1}:
  id: 1
  event: <current()>
something_event_1_test:
  id: 2
  event: '@event_1'

Something is wrong with my usage ?

I'm not quite sure <current> refers to @event_1 or the string '@event_1' in this case... I think it should refer to the fixture instance though. So your usage should work just fine, meaning this is a bug.

When we have something_{@event_1} <current()> is the same thing than '@event_1'
Like if we have something_event_{1} with '@event$current'_ (or '@event<current()>_, both work i guess) it's again the same thing. BUT i can't use several time {@event_1} in the same call

I'm experiencing something similar.

Given that these fixtures exist:

fixture_1:
    id: 1
fixture_2:
    id: 2
...etc

Then when those fixtures are used in two sets of later fixtures, like this, only the second set is created:

group_{@fixture*}:
    fixture: <current()>
    property: <getValue()>
group_{@fixture*}_alternative:
    fixture: <current()>
    property: <getAlternativeValue()>

In fact, the custom provider function getValue(), used in the first set, is never called.

However, just by changing the beginning of the name for the second set of fixtures, instead of the end of the name, this works:

group_{@fixture*}:
    fixture: <current()>
    property: <getValue()>
alternate_group_{@fixture*}:
    fixture: <current()>
    property: <getAlternativeValue()>

Both sets are created correctly.
