Doctrine custom type always altering table

Question

I have added a custom type like:

namespace My\\SuperBundle\\Types;

use Doctrine\\DBAL\\Types\\Type;
use Doctrine\\DBAL\\Platforms\\AbstractPlatform;

class Mo         


        

Answer 1

You are not telling the DBAL platform about your type, so obviously, the DBAL schema introspection utilities cannot recognize it. To register the type, you can do following:

use Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type;
use My\SuperBundle\Types\Money;

class MyBSuperBundle extends Bundle
{
    public function boot()
    {
        /* @var $em \Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager */
        $entityManager = $this->container->get('doctrine.orm.entity_manager');

        if( ! Type::hasType(Money::MONEY)) {
            Type::addType(Money::MONEY, 'My\SuperBundle\Types\Money');
            $entityManager
                ->getConnection()
                ->getDatabasePlatform()
                ->registerDoctrineTypeMapping('decimal', Money::MONEY);
        }
    }
}

This should stop the DBAL from complaining about schema differences.
