Symfony2 $user->setPassword() updates password as plain text [DataFixtures + FOSUserBundle]

Question

I'm trying to pre-populate a database with some User objects, but when I call $user->setPassword('some-password'); and then save the user object, the string 'some-password' is stored directly in the database, instead of the hashed+salted password.

My DataFixture class:

// Acme/SecurityBundle/DataFixtures/ORM/LoadUserData.php
<?php

namespace Acme\SecurityBundle\DataFixtures\ORM;

use Doctrine\Common\DataFixtures\FixtureInterface;
use Doctrine\Common\Persistence\ObjectManager;

use Acme\SecurityBundle\Entity\User;

class LoadUserData implements FixtureInterface
{
    public function load(ObjectManager $manager)
    {
        $userAdmin = new User();
        $userAdmin->setUsername('System');
        $userAdmin->setEmail('[email protected]');
        $userAdmin->setPassword('test');

        $manager->persist($userAdmin);
        $manager->flush();
    }
}

And the relevant database output:

id  username    email               salt                                password
1   System      [email protected]  3f92m2tqa2kg8cookg84s4sow80880g     test

Since you are using FOSUserBundle, you can use UserManager to do this. I would use this code (assuming you have $this->container set):

public function load(ObjectManager $manager)
{
    $userManager = $this->container->get('fos_user.user_manager');

    $userAdmin = $userManager->createUser();

    $userAdmin->setUsername('System');
    $userAdmin->setEmail('[email protected]');
    $userAdmin->setPlainPassword('test');
    $userAdmin->setEnabled(true);

    $userManager->updateUser($userAdmin, true);
}
