Boolean type issue

Boolean works fine for me with MySQL since forever, i cannot reproduce this. Can you come up with a reproducable test-case in our Testsuite? Otherwise odds are pretty slim to fix this, as i need to see whats happening.

Sorry don't know how to use your Testsuite.

So basically what I have:

Symfony 2 PR6 standard sandbox with the following config:

doctrine:
   dbal:
       dbname:   shop
       user:     root
       password: ~
       logging:  %kernel.debug%
   orm:
       auto_generate_proxy_classes: %kernel.debug%
       mappings:
           HelloBundle: ~

Then I have simple entity:

<?php

namespace Sensio\HelloBundle\Entity;

/**
 * @orm:Entity()
 * @orm:Table(name="product")
 */
class Product
{
    /**
     * @orm:Id
     * @orm:GeneratedValue
     * @orm:Column(type="integer")
     */
    private $id;

    /** @orm:Column(type="text", nullable=false) */
    private $name;

    
    /** @orm:Column(type="boolean") */
    private $inStock;
    
    public function getId()
    {
        return $this->id;
    }

    public function setName($name)
    {
        $this->name = $name;
    }

    public function getName()
    {
        return $this->name;
    }

    public function setInStock($inStock)
    {
        $this->inStock = $inStock;
    }

    public function getInStock()
    {
        return $this->inStock;
    }
}

Run the following commands:

php app/console doctrine:database:create
php app/console doctrine:schema:create

And finally I have simple action in the HelloController:

<?php

namespace Sensio\HelloBundle\Controller;

use Sensio\HelloBundle\Entity\Product;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;

class HelloController extends Controller
{
    public function indexAction($name)
    {
         $product = new Product();
         $product->setName($name);
         $product->setInStock(true);
		
         $em = $this->get('doctrine.orm.default_entity_manager');
         $em->persist($product);
         $em->flush();

         return $this->render('HelloBundle:Hello:index.html.twig', array('name' => $name));

    }
}

Go to the http://localhost/web/app_dev.php/hello/Product1
—
When I set 'true' for inStock attribute, and then flush object to the DB, it doesn't create a row. However when I write $product->setInStock('1') - that's works and the row appears in the DB. And $product->setInStock(1) that's doen't work again. That's a very strange behaviour, and I couldn't explain it anyhow.

This is pretty old. Do you still use boolean types and does it work? The code suggests you maybe used Doctrine 2.0.x back then, does this work with Doctrine 2.1.x for you?

Closing because we were unable to reproduce and no further feedback was provided.

Hi guys, I was able to reproduce similar behaviour. Simply adding a boolean column to an entity prevents Doctrine from persisting new entities to the database. I am using a freshly-checked-out 2.2.2 with the Laravel PHP framework. Boolean columns have worked for me previously and I wondered whether Laravel's autoloaders were interfering with Doctrine somehow (just a stab in the dark).

Here is my Test entity:

<?php

namespace Entity;

/**
 * @Entity
 * @Table(name="test_entry")
 */
class Test
{

        /**
         * @Id
         * @Column(type="integer", nullable=false)
         * @GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
         */
        protected $id;

        /**
         * @Column(type="string", length=40, nullable=false)
         */
        protected $string_col;

        public function getId()
        {
                return $this->id;
        }

        public function setStringCol($string_col)
        {
                $this->string_col = $string_col;
        }

        public function getStringCol()
        {
                return $this->string_col;
        }

}

Persisting a new Test entity like this works fine.

$test = new \Entity\Test;
$test->setStringCol('String value');
$em->persist($test);
$em->flush();

However, if I add a boolean column to the entity, the persist/flush operations seem to fail silently and the record is not inserted. The boolean column looks like this:

/**
 * @Column(type="boolean", nullable=false)
 */
protected $bool_col = false;

Sorry, forgot to say that explicitly setting the value of bool_col doesn't make a difference. I have also tried setting the value to (int) 1 or 0, with the same results.

My development environment is Ubuntu Linux, these boolean types is working well. After new developer put project up on his Windows 7 WAMP machine exactly the same problem happened.
Firstly thought that MySQL is acting differently, but no, we connected MySQL to Linux server, still same problem. The solution was to replace boolean types to integers.

So perhaps you couldn't reproduce it because you tested it in Linux. You should run the same test on the Windows machine.

Run into same problem here with Doctrine 2.3.x and MySQL 5.5.16 running on Windows 7 with Symfony2. Using query builder:

->where($qb->expr()->eq('c.private', 'false'))

I have to use literal 'false' or 0.

@beberlei @ocramius this should be reopened it is a present bug on 2.3+, i had the same problem rolled back and it works again.

Won't reopen without failing test case

Luis Cordova your test is not related with this issue :\
