I would like to know about how symfony2 console commands cache:clear and cache:warmup works in regards to changes in doctrine entities.

I've read this http://blog.whiteoctober.co.uk/2014/02/25/symfony2-cache-warmup-explained/ and this https://stackoverflow.com/a/17787070/779320. There it is stated that symfony2 warm-up generates Doctrine proxies.

Thing is, I frequently have a situation after application deploy using capifony where I must run doctrine migrations. After that I always run cache:clear and cache:warmup.

According to the links above (if I understand correctly), if there is any entity addition/deletion, I should run cache:warmup. But what if there is only entity's fields changes. Should I run both cache:clear and cache:warmup commands necessary to be run or just one? Or, which one is necessary? Or, not at all?

Migrations are responsible for persistence layer only. It has nothing to do with EntityProxies, it only makes Database in sync with Model - that's all.

In production, during deployment, you probably run git pull and composer install, which clears the cache, so migrations shoud run just after that.

Reason - after composer install your new code and Model itself is ready to use new fields/entities, but the Database still falls behind, so migrations keeps it in sync.
