Error Identifier: doctrine.mapping

← Back to doctrine.*

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 FooWithoutPK
{
	#[ORM\Column]
	private string $name;
}

Why is it reported? #

This error is reported by phpstan/phpstan-doctrine.

Doctrine ORM detected a mapping configuration error in the entity class. The specific error message comes directly from Doctrine’s metadata validation. Common causes include:

  • Missing identifier/primary key definition (every entity must have an #[ORM\Id] column)
  • Invalid column type mappings
  • Incorrect association mappings (e.g. missing inversedBy or mappedBy)
  • Syntax errors in the mapping configuration

These errors would cause Doctrine to throw an exception at runtime when it tries to load the entity metadata.

How to fix it #

The fix depends on the specific Doctrine mapping error reported. For example, if a primary key is missing, add one:

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

 #[ORM\Entity]
 class FooWithoutPK
 {
+	#[ORM\Id]
+	#[ORM\GeneratedValue]
+	#[ORM\Column]
+	private ?int $id = null;
+
 	#[ORM\Column]
 	private string $name;
 }

Consult the Doctrine ORM mapping documentation for details on the correct mapping configuration.

Non-ignorable error #

This error cannot be ignored using @phpstan-ignore or the ignoreErrors configuration. Non-ignorable errors indicate code that would cause a crash or a fatal error at runtime, or a fundamental problem in the analysed code that must be addressed.
