Error Identifier: doctrine.descriptorNotFound

Every error reported by PHPStan has an error identifier. Here’s a list of all error identifiers. In PHPStan Pro you can see the error identifier next to each error and filter errors by their identifiers.

Code example #

<?php declare(strict_types = 1);

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

#[ORM\Entity]
class User
{
	#[ORM\Column(type: 'custom_type')]
	private string $name;
}

Why is it reported? #

This error is reported by the phpstan-doctrine extension.

The Doctrine column mapping uses a type (custom_type) that does not have a registered type descriptor. PHPStan cannot validate the type mapping for this column because the type descriptor is missing from the descriptor registry.

How to fix it #

Register the custom Doctrine type in your configuration, or use a built-in Doctrine type:

 <?php declare(strict_types = 1);
 
 use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

 #[ORM\Entity]
 class User
 {
-	#[ORM\Column(type: 'custom_type')]
+	#[ORM\Column(type: 'string')]
 	private string $name;
 }

If using a custom type, make sure it is properly registered with Doctrine’s type system and configure the phpstan-doctrine extension to recognise it.

How to ignore this error #

You can use the identifier doctrine.descriptorNotFound to ignore this error using a comment:

// @phpstan-ignore doctrine.descriptorNotFound
codeThatProducesTheError();

You can also use only the identifier key to ignore all errors of the same type in your configuration file in the ignoreErrors parameter:

parameters:
	ignoreErrors:
		-
			identifier: doctrine.descriptorNotFound
