Template file `No bake template found for "fixture_factory" skipping file generation.` could not be found

What is the error?

bin/cake bake fixture_factory -a -f
Exception: Template file `No bake template found for "fixture_factory" skipping file generation.` could not be found.
In [No bake template found for "fixture_factory" skipping file generation., line 104]

What did I do?

composer require --dev pakacuda/cakephp-fixture-factories  

This successfully added the plugin to the vendor

composer require --dev pakacuda/cakephp-fixture-factories

Then i manually added the Plugin into the bootstrapCli() function in the src/Application.php

$this->addPlugin('CakephpFixtureFactories');

After that I executed

bin/cake bake fixture_factory -a -f   

For me it seems like it can't find the vendor/pakacuda/cakephp-fixture-factories/templates/bake/fixture_factory.twig even though it is present.

As you can see in my composer.json in the Issue I use cakephp/cakephp:^4.0

To be specific I use 4.0.6

Hi,

thanks for giving it a try. Are you using CakePHP 3.x or 4.x?

For 3.x use "^0.1.0", 4.x use "^0.2.0"

I'll update the documentation.

Let me know if this fixed you issue!

[pabloelcolombiano]

@LordSimal indeed, I saw only after that you had given your full composer.

Well first thanks for trying out the vendor, and for your feedback. I have applied a fix. Would you mind trying again by reinstalling the vendor?

[LordSimal]

Since composer needs some time to update I just applied your change in the vendor/pakacuda/cakephp-fixture-factories/src/Command/FixtureFactoryCommand.php manually and now the command works and the factories got generated!

Thanks for that quick fix!

PS: I found your repository because you were in the "CakePHP Online Meetup 2020-04 with Mark Scherer" stream 😄 And since I have a CakePHP project with 44 tables and basically no testing I was quite intrigued by your factory.
