Handling more than one variant axes

[aleho]

Currently the "direct" parent of a product is created / retrieved when importing products with more than one variant.

Sylius doesn't support the two levels of Akeneo, but it does support multiple options, generating a variant of the combinations.

On import the options are resolved in ProductOptionsResolver by only considering the first tier.
Likewise, in Product\Importer and ProductAssociations\Importer only the "direct" parent of a variant is considered (1st axis variant if 2nd axis) instead of the root product.

We've changed the importers / option resolver to check the parent of a parent and also to import all options locally. This works well because the 2nd tier variantCode matches the Akeneo code anyway.

What's your take on this?
Are you planning on supporting the second Akeneo variant axis level?

Hi @aleho, honestly we never needed the 2nd axis level and this is the reason why the plugin currently supports the first level only.

If you already worked on that and you can provide a PR we'll be happy to merge it!

Sorry, we stopped using Sylius because their rate of development, acceptance of already approved PRs and appalling handling of confirmed serious bugs (e.g. in invoicing) were just too much to handle in the long run.

We had so many forks and bug fixes to track locally (with many @see SyliusBugTracker that it became a matter of weeks to update to newer versions.

Feel free to close this issue if you don't think it's relevant to you and thank you very much for the great cooperation! Really appreciate it!
