Nested functions errors

[ZhukV]

I try to use nested functions in my fixtures and receive error.

Fixture:

data: '<calculateFeeActionData("ababab", "acacac", <money("USD", "100.02")>)>'

Error:

Nelmio\Alice\Throwable\Exception\FixtureBuilder\ExpressionLanguage\MalformedFunctionException: The value "<money(__ARG_TOKEN__3518f8944d42212dd37daffe097d216e" contains an unclosed function.

The functions calculateFeeActionData and money presented by faker provider.

Full stack trace:

Nelmio\Alice\Throwable\Exception\FixtureBuilder\ExpressionLanguage\MalformedFunctionException: The value "<money(__ARG_TOKEN__3518f8944d42212dd37daffe097d216e" contains an unclosed function.

Note: if I use function with one argument, all ok correctly.

Until a fix (see #998) I would suggest a custom faker provider (see https://github.com/nelmio/alice/blob/master/doc/customizing-data-generation.md#custom-faker-data-providers)

Hi @theofidry!

Any progress on it?

[theofidry]

No, and since there is a acceptable workaround it's far from being a priority to me atm.

[d0niek]

Oh.. please can you point me this "workaround"?
