Unknown column type requested

Improvement Minor Resolved Fixed Benjamin Eberlei Francois Mazerolle Wed, 2 Nov 2011 19:25:10 +0000 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:06:00 +0000 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:06:00 +0000 2.3 1 1 <p>Ironically, this same issue has recently started happening for me as well. It just started randomly over the weekend. Same exact issue (with 2 spaces between type and requested). For me, it happens when using Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager-&gt;find() on a valid entity.</p> <p>#0 /doctrine-2.1.2/Doctrine/DBAL/DBALException.php(81): Doctrine\DBAL\DBALException::unknownColumnType()<br/> #1 /doctrine-2.1.2/Doctrine/DBAL/Types/Type.php(140): Doctrine\DBAL\DBALException::unknownColumnType()<br/> #2 /doctrine-2.1.2/Doctrine/ORM/Internal/Hydration/SimpleObjectHydrator.php(84): Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::getType()<br/> #3 /doctrine-2.1.2/Doctrine/ORM/Internal/Hydration/SimpleObjectHydrator.php(43): Doctrine\ORM\Internal\Hydration\SimpleObjectHydrator-&gt;_hydrateRow()<br/> #4 /doctrine-2.1.2/Doctrine/ORM/Internal/Hydration/AbstractHydrator.php(99): Doctrine\ORM\Internal\Hydration\SimpleObjectHydrator-&gt;_hydrateAll()<br/> #5 /doctrine-2.1.2/Doctrine/ORM/Persisters/BasicEntityPersister.php(581): Doctrine\ORM\Internal\Hydration\AbstractHydrator-&gt;hydrateAll()<br/> #6 /doctrine-2.1.2/Doctrine/ORM/EntityRepository.php(130): Doctrine\ORM\Persisters\BasicEntityPersister-&gt;load()<br/> #7 /doctrine-2.1.2/Doctrine/ORM/EntityManager.php(350): Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository-&gt;find()</p> <p>hi, seems like doctrine does not clean cache fully.</p> <p>in my case I'm using APC cache<br/> run: in php *<b>apc_clear_cache('user');</b>*</p> <p>it should work fine now</p> <p>PS.:<br/> running cache clearing commands, does not help.</p> <p> doctrine:cache:clear-metadata Clears all metadata cache for a entity manager<br/> doctrine:cache:clear-query Clears all query cache for a entity manager<br/> doctrine:cache:clear-result Clears result cache for a entity manager</p> <p>Hi,</p> <p>@gediminas : I don't have the error anymore so I can't test, but it's nice if there's a solution to fix it.</p> <p>However, this error is problematic as it's anti-verbose.<br/> There's is no indication of a cache problem in the error message. It try to point out to a field, and that field is not even displayed in the error.<br/> I hope someone will be able to fix the error so that's it become a useful error, like by following some sort of guideline:</p> <p><a href="http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20010624.html" class="external-link">http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20010624.html</a></p> <p>I don't want to troll or anything, but as I'Ve started using doctrine2 with symfony2, the MAJOR problem I've encountered what bad error message that was leaving me lost. Often I had -v, find the file where the error occurred, look at the code, understand by myself what's wrong and attempt to fix it. This is counter-productive and really show that the exception message doesn't follow most error message guide line. For sure, we're not end-users, but we're "programmer-user" that use the system, and this "title" come with a knowledge that is not the same as we could expect of a core-developer, for example.</p> <p>I hope this message was constructive.</p> <p>Improved this error message alot and also changed some regarding reverse engineering of custom types (where this error often occured):</p> <p>You can now implement Type#getMappedDatabaseTypes(AbstractPlatform $platform); on your custom type and return a list of database types that this doctrine type maps to.</p>
