OneToMany not update, not remove

[CaptainJojo]

But I have the same bug in my project. #1971 #1663 #2004

OneToMany doesn't save.

I have Article Entity

<?php

namespace App\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="App\Repository\ArticleRepository")
 */
class Article
{
    /**
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer")
     */
    private $id;

    /**
     * @ORM\Column(type="string")
     */
    private $name;

    /**
     * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="App\Entity\Dossier", inversedBy="articles", cascade={"persist","remove"})
     */
    private $dossier;

    /**
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function getId()
    {
        return $this->id;
    }

    /**
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function getName()
    {
        return $this->name;
    }

    /**
     * @param mixed $name
     */
    public function setName($name)
    {
        $this->name = $name;

        return $this;
    }

    /**
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function getDossier()
    {
        return $this->dossier;
    }

    /**
     * @param mixed $dossier
     */
    public function setDossier($dossier)
    {
        $this->dossier = $dossier;

        return $this;
    }

    public function __toString()
    {
        return $this->getName();
    }
}

And this entity

<?php

namespace App\Entity;

use Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="App\Repository\DossierRepository")
 */
class Dossier
{
    /**
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer")
     */
    private $id;

    /**
     * @ORM\Column(type="string")
     */
    private $name;

    /**
     * @ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="App\Entity\Article", mappedBy="dossier", cascade={"persist","remove"})
     */
    private $articles;

    public function __construct() {
        $this->articles = new ArrayCollection();
    }

    /**
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function getId()
    {
        return $this->id;
    }

    /**
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function getName()
    {
        return $this->name;
    }

    /**
     * @param mixed $name
     */
    public function setName($name)
    {
        $this->name = $name;
    }

    public function __toString()
    {
        return $this->getName();
    }

    /**
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function getArticles()
    {
        return $this->articles;
    }

    public function addArticle(Article $article) {
        $article->setDossier($this);
        $this->articles->add($article);
        return $this;
    }
    public function removeArticle(Article $article) {
        $article->setDossier(null);
        $this->articles->removeElement($article);

        return $this;
    }
}

My EasyAdmin config it's really easy

easy_admin:
    entities:
        # List the entity class name you want to manage
        Article:
          class: App\Entity\Article
        Dossier:
          class: App\Entity\Dossier
          form:
            fields:
              - 'name'
              - { property: 'articles', type_options: { by_reference: false } }

But when I save in page Dossier, I have every time Article empty.

Any idea ?

[CaptainJojo]

For fix I need to overload EntityController and function preUpdateEntity and use my function addArticle for all getArticles.

It's possible without this trick ?

[azvyagin]

I have the same problem. In issue #1918 says that it works, but not for me.

[azvyagin]

I found a solution to remove, but nor for update
Change:

/**
* @ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="App\Entity\Article", mappedBy="dossier", cascade="persist","remove"})
*/

in Dossier.php to:

/**
* @ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="App\Entity\Article", mappedBy="dossier", cascade={"persist","remove"}, orphanRemoval=true)
*/

And change:

/**
* @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="App\Entity\Dossier", inversedBy="articles", cascade={"persist","remove"})
*/

in Article.php to

/**
* @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="App\Entity\Dossier", inversedBy="articles")
*/

This is a special kind of magic...

[laurent-bientz]

I've the same problem since 1.17.8 > updates in children are not saved.

If I force 1.17.7 in composer, still ok.

[grachevko]

I guess problem is here javiereguiluz@6a365fc

[javiereguiluz]

@grachevko I don't understand why that could be the problem :(

[grachevko]

@javiereguiluz flush with $entity argument perisist only this entity without relations.

[CaptainJojo]

It's ok with the master branch thank @grachevko I wait the new release :)

[informatic-revolution]

@javiereguiluz the problem is explained in the following thread: doctrine/orm#4142

[pavbis]

@javiereguiluz can confirm that flush with $entity arg persists $entity without relations.
@grachevko thank you, i've updated my project, it's now working.

[javiereguiluz]

I'm closing this issue because we're starting a new phase in the history of this bundle (see #2059). We've moved it into a new GitHub organization and we need to start from scratch: no past issues, no pending pull requests, etc.

I understand if you are angry or disappointed by this, but we really need to "reset" everything in order to reignite the development of this bundle.
