Update an Entity with Unique Key - Insert instead of update

Question

I have this method in my service:

public function updateCountry($p_entity) {   


    var_dump($p_entity->getId());    //return 3 (as expected)
    var_du         


        

Answer 1

You shouldn't persist existing in DB entity, only new one. So if you get entity from DB and want to update it you should

1. $entity->setName()
2. $em->flush
