Unknown database type enum requested,Doctrine - doctrine-orm

Question

when i want to generate Entity from data base i have this Error:
Unknown database type enum requested, Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\MySqlPlatform may not support it
how can i resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You could try to do something like this in the onBootstrap module of your Module.php, to tell Doctrine to treat your enum like a string
$em = $e->getApplication()->getServiceManager()->get('Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager');
$platform = $em->getConnection()->getDatabasePlatform();
$platform->registerDoctrineTypeMapping('enum', 'string');

Answer 2

Add the following line to your bootstrap.php
$entityManager->getConnection()->getDatabasePlatform()->registerDoctrineTypeMapping('enum', 'string');

Answer 3

If you really want to work with enums and don't convert them to strings, you should implement your custom type (it's really not a big deal).
See enter link description here
But also, you have to extend list of types on your platform.
So, simplest way to do that - override useless method \Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::getMappedDatabaseTypes with your own so like that:
class EnumType extends Type
{
const NAME = "enum";
// ... (your implemented methods)
public function getMappedDatabaseTypes(AbstractPlatform $platform)
{
return ['enum'];
}
}
Have a fun :)
