FixtureInterface::loadlikepublic function load($manager)@Victor Hugo Update your BlogFixtures::load() method to look like this: public function load(\Doctrine\Common\Persistence\ObjectManager $manager)
I'm also having the same issue i.e "...must be compatible with that of Doctrine\Common\DataFixtures\FixtureInterface::load()". Please help.
@Victor Hugo: simply modify your load method like following: public function load(ObjectManager $manager) And add the related namespace: use Doctrine\Common\Persistence\ObjectManager; It should work then.
