[#DDC-2303] @param wrong in Doctrine\ORM\PersistentCollection::_

Comment by Torsten Granek [ 18/Feb/13 ]

When i try to generate a new PersistentCollection like this:


     $collection = new ArrayCollection();
     new \Doctrine\ORM\PersistentCollection(
				$this->getEntityManager(),
				new ClassMetadata(''),
				 $collection
			);

I get an typ hinting error like
"Expected array, got "Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection"

This could be fixed by changing the type hinting for the Doctrine\ORM\PersistentCollection::__constructor
_From:_

     /**
     * Creates a new persistent collection.
     *
     * @param EntityManager $em    The EntityManager the collection will be associated with.
     * @param ClassMetadata $class The class descriptor of the entity type of this collection.
     * @param array       $coll  The collection elements.
     */
    public function __construct(EntityManager $em, $class, $coll)
    {

_To:_

     /**
     * Creates a new persistent collection.
     *
     * @param EntityManager $em    The EntityManager the collection will be associated with.
     * @param ClassMetadata $class The class descriptor of the entity type of this collection.
     * @param \ArrayAccess $coll  The collection elements.
     */
    public function __construct(EntityManager $em, $class, $coll)
    {

There is no typehint in the PersistentCollection constructor. So the issue cannot come from this place (the phpdoc is wrong btw, it expects a Collection, not an array)

Please give the full error, i.e. the message and the location so that we can know where it happens.

There error is not in the function declaration, it is in the @param in the doc block of the constructor.

Using PHPStorm as IDE i got this error thrown by the IDE it self, not php. (Screenshot will be attached)

Using ZF2 the error is on line 121 at:
vendor/doctrine/orm/lib/Doctrine/ORM/PersistentCollection.php

The correct type hint here is `Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection`.

I'm closing this as invalid, since you shouldn't instantiate a persistent collection on your own. Consider opening a pull request at https://github.com/doctrine/doctrine2 instead if you want to fix the typehint.
