There is no easy way to set IDs when importing fixtures.

We can't truncate MySQL tables with FKs. According to project maintainers, it will never be possible: https://github.com/doctrine/DoctrineFixturesBundle/issues/50

On the other hand, setting ID generators for every single entity type is cumbersome. I teach beginners and this makes things very difficult for them.

doctrine/data-fixtures says that it's a Doctrine issue: https://github.com/doctrine/data-fixtures/issues/129#issuecomment-84693918

Thanks.

I am having this exact issue, I haven't tried it yet, but I assume you could create a custom strategy, that would take into account that the ID has already been set

Hard to test when entities generated with new ids
