Subject

With DBAL 4.0.0-RC2, there is a bug with Timestampable.
I found why and I can provide a fix, but I think this bug can be on other extensions... That's why I only create a bug issue.

In DBAL 4.0.0-RC2, the method $this->getObjectManager()->getConnection()->getDriver()->getDatabasePlatform() now wait an argument, which is not provided for the moment, and the getFieldMapping function return an object instead of an array.

I found the bug in the src/Timestampable/Mapping/Event/Adapter/ORM.php file.

This fix work on my side.

I'll be happy to help if needed !

Minimal repository with the bug

I'll do it if I have some free time, I apologize to haven't created it for now.

Steps to reproduce

Just create a project that use DBAL 4.0.0-RC2 instead of 3.x.x and use Timestampable on a updated_at property and try to save a entity.

Expected results

{"@context":"\/api\/contexts\/Todo","@id":"\/api\/todos\/10","@type":"Todo","id":10,"name":"Test","done":false,"createdAt":"2024-02-01T18:07:54+00:00","updatedAt":"2024-02-01T18:07:54+00:00"}

Actual results

"Too few arguments to function Doctrine\\DBAL\\Driver\\Middleware\\AbstractDriverMiddleware::getDatabasePlatform(), 0 passed in /app/vendor/gedmo/doctrine-extensions/src/Timestampable/Mapping/Event/Adapter/ORM.php on line 33 and exactly 1 expected"

Thanks ! 😄

DBAL 4.0 isn't supported right now and probably won't be for a while (IIRC ORM 2.x isn't getting support for it, so ORM 3.x compat has to be sorted out first).

[stof]

The solution is actually to use the high-level API to access the platform (which has not change between 3.x and 4.x) instead of reaching for the low-level driver.

[conradfr]

It seems the Symfony 7 generator uses DBAL 4.0, this "bug" will annoy many people (I'm one of them ;)).

[stof]

Note that the Symfony generator should be forcing DBAL 3.x for now since a few days.

[joshmurrayeu]

Hi folks, I've installed Doctrine manually into a Laravel application and I'm experiencing the same problem.

DBAL 4.0 isn't supported right now and probably won't be for a while....

@mbabker is there a roadmap I could look at? Failing that, do you have any idea when DBAL 4.x will be implemented?

I'll build a workaround for my particular scenario.

@mbabker is there a roadmap I could look at? Failing that, do you have any idea when DBAL 4.x will be implemented?

As this package is entirely supported by volunteers, there's no roadmap or timeline. But, the gist of what's required is basically to finish ORM 3 compat (as ORM 2 and DBAL 4 are not usable together, so there's nothing that can really be done to test this at the moment) then start working on DBAL 4 compatibility.

The fix noted in #2752 (comment) (basically changing any calls similar to $this->getObjectManager()->getConnection()->getDriver()->getDatabasePlatform() to $this->getObjectManager()->getConnection()->getDatabasePlatform()) could be sent as a PR at any time to fix this specific issue, but issues like #2502 are pretty big blockers to allowing DBAL 4 (and if I'm being honest, my gut feeling says that might not come without a major release of this package considering what would be involved to resolve that one).

I also just ran into this issue - it would be helpful to make a note what the extension is and is not compatible with in the README.md so people don't get started with the extension only to run into the same error (especially if the incompatibility issue 2502 is almost 2 years old)

fwiw @Arkanii I was able to get the Timestampable annotation working with your change and one other - here's a composer patch file, maybe it'll help somebody out.
gedmo-doctrine-extenstions-timestampable.patch

I also just ran into this issue - it would be helpful to make a note what the extension is and is not compatible with in the README.md so people don't get started with the extension only to run into the same error

The best place to look at compatibility is going to be the composer.json file because that's what Composer is going to use to figure out what to install. Putting compatibility info in README files or other docs files ends up in info being outdated pretty easily (like I just learned that there's a table that tries to convey what versions of doctrine/orm and doctrine/common some things are compatible with, and that table's massively out-of-date and honestly not well presented (the two libraries have different versioning schemes, so trying to say it's compatible with both like the header implies isn't great).

especially if the incompatibility issue 2502 is almost 2 years old

And as that issue shows, there's actually a patch that can help fix that particular compatibility issue from a pure code perspective. Except it's not easy to ship it because the changes require data migrations for downstream users (the DBAL's object and array types store data using PHP's serialize() function, whereas the JSON type uses native JSON support, so it's not just a matter applying that patch and shipping the change but figuring out how to deal with any existing data as well).

I was able to get the Timestampable extension working with your change and one other - here's a composer patch file, maybe it'll help somebody out.

A pull request for the first change in that patch would be hugely appreciated instead of just patching your local app. As for the second change, a proper fix has already landed in this repository, so it's not necessary with the latest release.

[jgwiazdowski]

@nbennett25
patch works, thanks

but still, it needs fixing :|

[michaelukolovrus]

Is it planned to update dbal > 4.0.0 in the upcoming release?

[mbabker]

Is it planned to update dbal > 4.0.0 in the upcoming release?

Eventually, yes. Unfortunately, there is a huge task involved in that (see #2502 and #2825).

[piotrp321]

any progress ?
