Symfony2 and Doctrine, Column cannot be null with

Here is an entity (EDITED: full file content)

code in controller (EDITED)

// Eve\MoonBundle\Controller\IndexController.php
namespace Eve\MoonBundle\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Eve\MoonBundle\Entity\MoonMaterial;

class IndexController extends Controller
{

    public function defaultAction($moonName)
    {
        // ...
        $dc = $this->getDoctrine();
        $form = $this
            ->createFormBuilder()
            ->add('typeID', 'choice', $choiceSettings)
            ->getForm();

        if ($this->getRequest()->isMethod('post'))
        {
            $form->bind($this->getRequest());
            {
                $data = $form->getData();
                $typeID = $data['typeID'];

                if (is_int($typeID))
                {
                    $em = $dc->getEntityManager();
                    $mm = $em->getRepository('EveMoonBundle:MoonMaterial');

                    $result = $mm->findOneBy(array(
                            'userID' => $this->getUser()->getID(),
                            'typeID' => $typeID,
                            'moonID' => $moon->getItemID()));

                    if ($result)
                    {
                        $em->remove($result);
                        $em->flush();
                    }

                    $moonMaterial = new MoonMaterial();
                    $moonMaterial
                        ->setUserID($this->getUser()->getID())
                        ->setTypeID($typeID)
                        ->setMoonID($moon->getItemID());


                    $em->persist($moonMaterial);
                    $em->flush();
                }
            }
        }

        $twig = 'EveMoonBundle:Index:default.html.twig';
        return $this->render($twig, array(
                'formAddMoonMaterial' => $form->createView()));
    }

}

when i try this, i get error

An exception occurred while executing 'INSERT INTO _moon_material (userID, moonID, typeID) VALUES (?, ?, ?)' with params {"1":38,"2":40001583,"3":null}:

SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1048 Column 'typeID' cannot be null 

but when i comment the OneToOne (code above) relationship it work correctly, so main trouble is in description OneToOne relationship... pls help to deal with it

what i want, i want rewrite entry if exist in table "_moon_material" or simply write it if not

ps: i need that relation only for "read" (join name by id)

Answer 1

If you want to allow null values set

@ORM\JoinColumn(name="typeID", referencedColumnName="typeID")

to

@ORM\JoinColumn(name="typeID", referencedColumnName="typeID", nullable=true)

and you should let the column 'typeID' to be nullable also. (see How do I modify a MySQL column to allow NULL?)

If you don't want to have NULL's, just do the opposite.

Answer 2

i don't know why, i can't do unidirectional relations, so i solved it by bidirectional by adding some code to invTypes table annotation

Answer 3

Both $invTypes_byTypeID and $typeID properties maps to the same typeID column. You can't do this with doctrine.

I suggest that you remove the $typeID property, and instead of working with a 'type id', you work with the type instance and set it to the $invTypes_byTypeID property.

I guess that it would mean changing you form etc ...

Answer 4

I'd check the method setTypeID() in your entity, it's likely that this isn't setting the property as you're expecting, hence the null.
