Return success when no fixtures to load

[simivar]

Currently, when you run doctrine:fixtures:load and there are no fixtures to load the command returns 1 together with an error message.

In our use-case, we have created a skeleton application that has defined CI/CD templates and pre-installed bundles like this one. One of the steps in our CI is running doctrine:fixtures:load which in new projects that do not have any fixtures yet causes our CI step to fail.

What do you think about one of the possible solutions:

1. add option to silence error on empty fixtures (--allow-empty or --silence-empty-error)
2. return warning instead of error when no fixtures to load

I can try to prepare a Pull Request when you see some viable solution.

Why not install the bundle but disable it in bundles.php instead?

If I understand you correctly we would have to change our CI/CD scripts too and we don't want to do that. We want to keep them the same as the skeleton ones and they do run doctrine:fixtures:load.
