Using JSON string containing an array in Yaml fixtures

[loic425]

Using doctrine, we now have "json" type (https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-dbal/en/2.7/reference/types.html#json).

We can now have a json string and this works correctly with alice, but when we have an array in the json, we got an error.

Exemple
data: '{"name":"Netflix", "types":["streaming", "video"]}'

It throws that error: "Array to string conversion"

Indeed this string would need to be escaped otherwise it's interpreted as for any value. So I would either recommend to try a custom faker provider or help out with #840 :)

@theofidry Thank you, it works with this workaround.

parameters:
     data: '{"name":"Netflix", "types":["streeming", "video"]}'

App\Entity\Test:
    test_1:
        __calls:
          - setData: [<{data}>]

Even better :) maybe you can pop a message is the linked issue about it I think they will find it helpful as well!
