Error Identifier: doctrine.enumType
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;
enum Status: string
{
case Active = 'active';
case Inactive = 'inactive';
}
#[ORM\Entity]
class User
{
#[ORM\Column(type: "integer", enumType: Status::class)]
public Status $status;
}
Why is it reported? #
When using Doctrine’s enumType column mapping, the backing type of the PHP enum must match the database column type. In the example above, the Status enum is backed by string, but the Doctrine column is mapped as integer. This mismatch means Doctrine cannot correctly serialize and deserialize the enum values to and from the database.
How to fix it #
Align the database column type with the enum’s backing type:
<?php declare(strict_types = 1);
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
#[ORM\Entity]
class User
{
- #[ORM\Column(type: "integer", enumType: Status::class)]
+ #[ORM\Column(type: "string", enumType: Status::class)]
public Status $status;
}
Or change the enum’s backing type to match the database column:
<?php declare(strict_types = 1);
-enum Status: string
+enum Status: int
{
- case Active = 'active';
- case Inactive = 'inactive';
+ case Active = 1;
+ case Inactive = 0;
}
How to ignore this error #
You can use the identifier doctrine.enumType to ignore this error using a comment:
// @phpstan-ignore doctrine.enumType
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:
