Where can I get Magento_SampleData module

[Vinai]

Hi,

in the latest develop branch \Magento\Setup\Model\Installer the following code can be found:

if (!empty($request[InstallCommand::INPUT_KEY_USE_SAMPLE_DATA]) && $this->sampleData->isDeployed()) {
    $script[] = ['Installing sample data:', 'installSampleData', [$request]];
}

The \Magento\Setup\Model\SampleData::isDeployed() method checks it a module Magento\SampleData is present.

public function isDeployed()
{
    return file_exists($this->directoryList->getPath(DirectoryList::MODULES) . self::PATH);
}

If I read that correctly, a sample data module needs to exist at app/code/Magento/SampleData.
However, installing the sample data via composer by using

% composer config repositories.magento composer http://packages.magento.com
% composer require magento/sample-data:0.74.0-beta9
% composer update

installs dev/tools/Magento/Tools/SampleData, which is not a regular Magento 2 module, plus, of course it's not in the app/code branch.

I've been busy with non-Magnto2 work for a while and probably missed this change in how to install the sample data. But I can't see a more recent version on http://packages.magento.com, and the sample data installation instructions show no change either.
Can you please shed some light on where to get the Magento_SampleData module? Thanks!

Hi @Vinai,
Currently the SampleData module is not published yet, so unfortunately installation of sample data is skipped during installation. Until the module is published, script from dev/tools can be used after magento installation to install sample data. The sample data module should be available soon.

Thanks @buskamuza!

@Vinai , FYI, Sample Data module is available now. If you use magento/sample-data of version 0.74.0-beta10, you should be able to install Sample Data during Magento installation.
