Out of memory about alice HOT 3 CLOSED

Unfortunately I don't think we can really do that in there, because in some cases you might want the objects to remain loaded, and clearing it will make it a lot slower since it'll have to reload everything from the DB.

For your use case here, I think it would make sense to just call $this->getContainer()->get('doctrine.orm.entity_manager')->clear(); after each Fixtures::load() call so you manually clear it. BTW doing batch operations like this means you may have problems with unique constraints (if you have any).

What do you think about add an option on the Nelmio\Alice\ORM\Doctrine::constructor to clear after persist call.
It could be a binary mask

new Doctrine($om, Doctrine::FLUSH | Doctrine::CLEAR);

That's alright yes, but that means you can't use the Fixtures::load shortcut anymore unless we add a gazillion options/args to load(), but I don't think that's a good idea.
