BaseContentFixture is a base class for setting up fixtures for populating existing elements.

Fixture classes that extend this class should set elementType to the class name of an element type, and dataFile to the path to a data file.

The data file should return an array, where each item is a sub-array containing the following keys:

  • criteria – an array of element query param names/values that should be used to locate the element
  • attributes – an array of attribute names/values that should be set on the element
  • fields – an array of custom field handles/values that should be set on the element
