@Annotation\InputFilter not working

[cbichis]

InputFilter annotation seems not to be working:

/**
 * @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="\Catalog\Repo\EventRepo")
 * @ORM\EntityListeners({"\Catalog\Entity\EventListener"})
 * @ORM\Table(name="catalog_event")
 * @Annotation\Name("catalog_event")
 * @Annotation\InputFilter("Laminas\InputFilter\InputFilter")
 */
class Event
{
.....
}

ERR (3): Object of class ArrayObject could not be converted to string {"file":"/home/myproject/vendor/doctrine/doctrine-orm-module/src/DoctrineORMModule/Form/Annotation/AnnotationBuilder.php","line":80

If I am checking what's the content of the $inputFilter it's just the class name... Somehow the input filter is not created and just the class name is passed.

Of course I used a dummy Laminas\InputFilter\InputFilter in the above sample but in my app I have another class, derived from Laminas\InputFilter\InputFilter, with the inputs added within init() method ... The same error...

Here is how the AB is injected:

$entityManager = $container->get('doctrine.entitymanager.orm_default');

$inputFilterFactory = new \Laminas\InputFilter\Factory(
    $container->get('InputFilterManager')
);

$formFactory = new \Laminas\Form\Factory(
    $container->get(FormElementManager::class)
);
$formFactory->setInputFilterFactory($inputFilterFactory);

$annotationBuilder = new AnnotationBuilder($entityManager);
$annotationBuilder->setFormFactory($formFactory);

@cbichis Could you please provide your full file (i.e. including use statements) and the package versions you are using (i.e. the output of composer show)?

My first guess would be that you haven't added a version constraint to laminas-form in your application. The most recent version of DoctrineORMModule supports either laminas-form 2.0 or 3.0, as written in the release notes: https://github.com/doctrine/DoctrineORMModule/releases/tag/4.1.0.

If you are upgrading laminas-form, please read the migration guide for laminas-form: https://docs.laminas.dev/laminas-form/v3/migration/v2-to-v3/.

Ok, you are using DoctrineORMModule 3.2.2. Please note that the 3.x branch is not supported anymore, you should upgrade to the 4.x series of DoctrineORMModule. I am aware of #666, we'll see if we can re-enable that, but likely this will only work for laminas-form 3.x then, not for 2.x anymore.

[cbichis]

It's quite complicated as basically a migration to DoctrineORMModule v4 requires:

• upgrade to PHP 8
• migrate all annotations to PHP 8 annotations
• then to DoctrineORMModule v4 itself (simple part)

Also Laminas Forms v3 are supporting DockBlock annotations, but DoctrineORMModule v4 does not...

[driehle]

DoctrineORMModule v4 has php: ^7.3 || ~8.0.0 || ~8.1.0, so no PHP upgrade should be requried unless you are still running 7.2, which is end of life in a few days. Further, laminas-forms supports both DocBlock annotations and PHP 8 attributes, so no need to migrate from DocBlock annotations to attributes either.

I think the only show-stopper here is the support by DoctrineORMModule for annotation-based form generation from entity classes.

[cbichis]

Yeah, I understand your idea. I just reviewed the migration path for my case (I am running PHP 7.4.x)... Quite complicated...

[driehle]

As DoctrineORMModule 3.x is not supported anymore, there will be no fix for that issue in the 3.x series. However, once #694 is merged an 4.2.0 released, upgrading to 4.2.0 should be quite smooth. Feel free to update this issue if the bug is still present in the upcoming 4.2.0 release.

[cbichis]

I'll recheck/test in couple days.

[driehle]

694 is merged, you can now give it a try with

    "require": {
        "doctrine/doctrine-orm-module": "4.2.x-dev",
        ....
    },

[driehle]

@cbichis Have you found time looking into 4.2.x-dev?

[cbichis]

Should be fine, I think. As far as I tested it works.

[driehle]

Good, I think we'll then proceed with the release of 4.2.0, because 5.0.0 follow in not to far future.
