Bug: Can't use integers as discriminator values with ORM v3

[imba28]

Bug Report

Q	A
BC Break	yes
Version	3.0.x

Summary

A while ago, doctrine/dbal@0db36a9 stopped implementing type-specific handling when quoting values (Statement::quote()). Moreover, it explicitly added a string type hint. When trying to upgrade to dbal v4 / orm v3 we noticed that this breaks single table inheritance when configuring integers as discriminator values as briefly outlined in #9921.

In that case, SqlWalker passes an integer to Connection::quote() when generating the discriminator column SQL condition:

• orm/src/Query/SqlWalker.php

  Line 387 in c3cc0fd

  $values[] = $conn->quote($class->discriminatorValue);

• orm/src/Query/SqlWalker.php

  Line 2250 in c3cc0fd

  $sqlParameterList[] = $this->conn->quote($dis);

This results in a type error.

I guess since we can no longer rely on doctrine/dbal to resolve the parameters for us doctrine/orm needs to somehow consider the discriminator column's type and preprocess the SQL parameters accordingly.

Current behavior

When configuring integers as discriminator values Doctrine triggers a type error whenever the application generates queries;

[TypeError] Doctrine\DBAL\Connection::quote(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type string, int given, called in /var/www/html/vendor/doctrine/orm/src/Query/SqlWalker.php on line 387  

How to reproduce

Here are two functional test that demonstrate the bug:

DiscriminatorColumn(type: 'integer')

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace Doctrine\Tests\ORM\Functional\Ticket;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Doctrine\Tests\OrmFunctionalTestCase;
use Generator;
use PHPUnit\Framework\Attributes\DataProvider;

class IntegerDiscriminatorValueTest extends OrmFunctionalTestCase
{
    protected function setUp(): void
    {
        parent::setUp();

        $this->setUpEntitySchema([
            IntegerBaseClass::class,
            IntegerFooEntity::class,
            IntegerBarEntity::class,
        ]);
    }

    public static function dqlStatements(): Generator
    {
        yield ['SELECT e FROM ' . IntegerBaseClass::class . ' e', '/WHERE g0_.type IN \(1, 2\)$/'];
        yield ['SELECT e FROM ' . IntegerFooEntity::class . ' e', '/WHERE g0_.type IN \(1\)$/'];
        yield ['SELECT e FROM ' . IntegerBarEntity::class . ' e', '/WHERE g0_.type IN \(2\)$/'];
    }

    #[DataProvider('dqlStatements')]
    public function testIntegerDiscriminatorValue(string $dql, string $expectedDiscriminatorValues): void
    {
        $query = $this->_em->createQuery($dql);
        $sql   = $query->getSQL();

        self::assertMatchesRegularExpression($expectedDiscriminatorValues, $sql);
    }
}

#[ORM\Entity]
#[ORM\Table(name: 'integer_discriminator')]
#[ORM\InheritanceType('SINGLE_TABLE')]
#[ORM\DiscriminatorColumn(name: 'type', type: 'integer')]
#[ORM\DiscriminatorMap([
    1 => IntegerFooEntity::class,
    2 => IntegerBarEntity::class,
])]
class IntegerBaseClass
{
    #[ORM\Id]
    #[ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy: 'IDENTITY')]
    #[ORM\Column(type: 'integer')]
    private int|null $id = null;
}

#[ORM\Entity]
class IntegerFooEntity extends IntegerBaseClass
{
}

#[ORM\Entity]
class IntegerBarEntity extends IntegerBaseClass
{
}

DiscriminatorColumn(type: 'string')

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace Doctrine\Tests\ORM\Functional\Ticket;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Doctrine\Tests\OrmFunctionalTestCase;
use Generator;
use PHPUnit\Framework\Attributes\DataProvider;

class StringIntegerEnumDiscriminatorValueTest extends OrmFunctionalTestCase
{
    protected function setUp(): void
    {
        parent::setUp();

        $this->setUpEntitySchema([
            IntegerBaseClass::class,
            IntegerFooEntity::class,
            IntegerBarEntity::class,
        ]);
    }

    public static function dqlStatements(): Generator
    {
        yield ['SELECT e FROM ' . IntegerBaseClass::class . ' e', '/WHERE g0_.type IN \(\'1\', \'2\'\)$/'];
        yield ['SELECT e FROM ' . IntegerFooEntity::class . ' e', '/WHERE g0_.type IN \(\'1\'\)$/'];
        yield ['SELECT e FROM ' . IntegerBarEntity::class . ' e', '/WHERE g0_.type IN \(\'2\'\)$/'];
    }

    #[DataProvider('dqlStatements')]
    public function testIntegerDiscriminatorValue(string $dql, string $expectedDiscriminatorValues): void
    {
        $query = $this->_em->createQuery($dql);
        $sql   = $query->getSQL();

        self::assertMatchesRegularExpression($expectedDiscriminatorValues, $sql);
    }
}

#[ORM\Entity]
#[ORM\Table(name: 'numeric_string_discriminator')]
#[ORM\InheritanceType('SINGLE_TABLE')]
#[ORM\DiscriminatorColumn(name: 'type', type: 'string')]
#[ORM\DiscriminatorMap([
    '1' => EnumFooEntity::class,
    '2' => EnumBarEntity::class,
])]
class EnumBaseClass
{
    #[ORM\Id]
    #[ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy: 'IDENTITY')]
    #[ORM\Column(type: 'integer')]
    private int|null $id = null;
}

#[ORM\Entity]
class EnumFooEntity extends IntegerBaseClass
{
}

#[ORM\Entity]
class EnumBarEntity extends IntegerBaseClass
{
}

Expected behavior

1. When configuring a discriminator column of type integer I'd expect all queries to contain unquoted parameters: WHERE type IN (1, 2)

   Example

   #[ORM\DiscriminatorColumn(name: 'type', type: 'integer')]
   #[ORM\DiscriminatorMap([
       1 => IntegerFooEntity::class,
       2 => IntegerBarEntity::class,
   ])]

2. However, If I changed the type to string I'd like to see the parameters to be quoted instead even if the discriminator values contain numeric strings: WHERE type IN ('1', '2'). This should cover use cases where people are forced to base the inheritance on enums such as ENUM('1','2','3')..

   #[ORM\DiscriminatorColumn(name: 'type', type: 'string')]
   #[ORM\DiscriminatorMap([
       '1' => EnumFooEntity::class,
       '2' => EnumBarEntity::class,
   ])]
