nullable not being read in Doctrine - doctrine

Question

I have a Zend Expressive project from Skeleton app. Also, the database NOT NULL is set for each of the fields that I have set nullable on. I think it might have something to do with it not reading the annotations. I had issues getting the annotations working in the first place, especially for the cli-config.php
Here's the DoctrineFactory I created loosely based on one I found as an example. I changed the way it creates the entityManager to more closely represent the Doctrine docs config example.
public function __invoke(ContainerInterface $container)
{
$config = $container->has('config') ? $container->get('config') : [];
$proxyDir = (isset($config['doctrine']['orm']['proxy_dir'])) ?
$config['doctrine']['orm']['proxy_dir'] : 'data/cache/EntityProxy';
$proxyNamespace = (isset($config['doctrine']['orm']['proxy_namespace'])) ?
$config['doctrine']['orm']['proxy_namespace'] : 'EntityProxy';
$autoGenerateProxyClasses = (isset($config['doctrine']['orm']['auto_generate_proxy_classes'])) ?
$config['doctrine']['orm']['auto_generate_proxy_classes'] : false;
$underscoreNamingStrategy = (isset($config['doctrine']['orm']['underscore_naming_strategy'])) ?
$config['doctrine']['orm']['underscore_naming_strategy'] : false;
$paths = (isset($config['doctrine']['paths'])) ? $config['doctrine']['paths'] : [];
$isDevMode = (isset($config['doctrine']['isDevMode'])) ? $config['doctrine']['isDevMode'] : false;
$doctrine = Setup::createAnnotationMetadataConfiguration($paths, $isDevMode);
// Doctrine ORM
$doctrine->setProxyDir($proxyDir);
$doctrine->setProxyNamespace($proxyNamespace);
$doctrine->setAutoGenerateProxyClasses($autoGenerateProxyClasses);
if ($underscoreNamingStrategy) {
$doctrine->setNamingStrategy(new UnderscoreNamingStrategy());
}
// Cache
$cache = $container->get(Cache::class);
$doctrine->setQueryCacheImpl($cache);
$doctrine->setResultCacheImpl($cache);
$doctrine->setMetadataCacheImpl($cache);
// EntityManager
return EntityManager::create($config['doctrine']['connection']['orm_default'], $doctrine);
}
Config like so:
'doctrine' => [
'orm' => [
'auto_generate_proxy_classes' => false,
'proxy_dir' => 'data/cache/EntityProxy',
'proxy_namespace' => 'EntityProxy',
'underscore_naming_strategy' => true,
],
'connection' => [
// default connection
'orm_default' => [
'driver' => 'pdo_mysql',
'host' => '127.0.0.1',
'port' => '3306',
'dbname' => 'users',
'user' => 'root',
'password' => 'password',
'charset' => 'UTF8',
],
],
'paths' => [
__DIR__.'/../../vendor/plexus/user-lib/src/Entity'
],
'isDevMode' => false,
'cache' => [
'redis' => [
'host' => '127.0.0.1',
'port' => '6379',
],
],
],

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't think of what would cause this.

Answer 1

So the issue, it turns out, is that Doctrine was caching my entities and probably had a hold of a stale entity. I figured this out because I added the id field but it wasn't showing up at all. I destroyed and recreated my Vagrant box, and it worked.
So I added this if statement around the cache adapter:
if (!$isDevMode) {
// Cache
$cache = $container->get(Cache::class);
$doctrine->setQueryCacheImpl($cache);
$doctrine->setResultCacheImpl($cache);
$doctrine->setMetadataCacheImpl($cache);
}
and I set $isDevMode to true.
