If I remove the part:

        auth:
            authEmail: me@domain.com

then I get:

any answers to this ?

try to use

auth:
  email: me@domain.com

try to use

auth:
  email: me@domain.com

Nothing is saved in the database if I try that.

I've worked around this issue by creating a separate fixture file for entity: LocalAuth.

@brussee I found another work around if this can help:

Since your LocalAuth is a non entity class, you can create a post (or pre) processor for your target User entity, then use the faker inside your PostProcessor to populate your LocalAuth Class.

It works for me.
