As quick fix i locally inserted a row \ApiPlatform\Serializer\AbstractItemNormalizer:227

$attribute = (string)$attribute;

Book has no 0 property

[alebedev80]

@soyuka yes! A book has no property 0, but code raise exception and server response 500 because invalid argument type in method call at ApiPlatform\Serializer\AbstractItemNormalizer:227. You can't expect that users will send proper data. So please re-open this issue. That's a bug!

curl 'https://demo.api-platform.com/books' -v -H 'content-type: application/ld+json' --data-raw '{"0":"1"}' 

...
< status: 500 Internal Server Error
...

I don't understand, what exception do you expect?

[alebedev80]

@soyuka i don't expect any exception in that case ;)

[soyuka]

I think that this should throw a 400 Bad Request. Tagging as bug.

[alebedev80]

@soyuka i'm not sure that this should throw 400 because on post a json string property which is 'unexpected' per service that property just ignoring. I think behavior should be the same - just ignore that numeric property.

[alebedev80]

@soyuka imho if by this request response is 201:

curl 'https://demo.api-platform.com/books' -v -H 'content-type: application/ld+json' --data-raw '{"author":"a", "title": "t", "description": "d", "publicationDate": "2023-03-16", "x": "0"}'

then by request with numeric property also should be 201:

curl 'https://demo.api-platform.com/books' -v -H 'content-type: application/ld+json' --data-raw '{"author":"a", "title": "t", "description": "d", "publicationDate": "2023-03-16", "0": "0"}'
