DoctrineBundle: Doctrine DBAL 2.5 Breaks Symfony if DB Doesn't Exist

After updating to DBAL 2.5, Doctrine introduced Doctrine\DBAL\Connection::detectDatabasePlatform() which is different than 2.4. Now in 2.5, any time a repository is instantiated (not even used) by the DI, we get a PDOException if the DB doesn’t already exist.

Imagine trying to run app/console doctrine:database:create and getting a “Database doesn’t exist!” error. Repositories as services are very common in most projects, so this is a huge issue.

To illustrate quickly, create a fresh Symfony project, letting composer install the AcmeDemoBundle. Then, while trying to generate an entity, you’ll get the PDOException.

composer create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition symfony-standard
cd symfony-standard
app/console doctrine:generate:entity --entity=AcmeDemoBundle:Foo

  [Doctrine\DBAL\Exception\ConnectionException]
  An exception occured in driver: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1049] Unknown database 'testdb'

  [Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOException]
  SQLSTATE[HY000] [1049] Unknown database 'testdb'

  [PDOException]
  SQLSTATE[HY000] [1049] Unknown database 'testdb'

For know you can simply provide the version of the database server you are connecting to like this:

doctrine:
    dbal:
        default_connection: default
        connections:
            default:
                dbname:   Symfony2
                user:         root
                password: null
                host:         localhost
                driver:       pdo_mysql
                server_version: 5.6 # your database server version here

As a workaround until we find a solution.

@stof sorry to add more comments about this, but I’d like to say that:

Before DBAL 2.5 we didn’t configure the server_version and our apps worked perfectly.
Executing cache:clear and getting database connection errors makes Symfony look stupid and buggy (and it’s not even Symfony’s fault!)

I’m seeing lots of problems related to this on Travis, while deploying apps, etc. That’s why I think this is a Doctrine bug that must be fixed.

From what I understand, I problem come from the experience of using symfony (from scratch), so more usually from Symfony Standard Edition.

Given the advantage of specifying the version of the database, why not simply add a parameter in the app/config/parameters.yml file?

That which would give in the file app/config/config.yml:

doctrine:
    dbal:
        driver: "%database_driver%"
        server_version: "%database_server_version%"
        # ...

and in the file app/config/parameters.yml.dist:

parameters:
    database_driver: pdo_mysql
    database_server_version: 5.5
    # ...

With the dependency incenteev/composer-parameter-handler (already required), the configuration can be changed at the Symfony Standard Edition installation.

Is not that a good compromise?

Just set your db version? It’s not hard and it saves you a query per request.

@Ocramius https://github.com/Ocramius in that case, 5.7 is more strict, use that as “lowest common denominator”? I just feel being in a state where you cannot create a DB because you don’t have a DB is wrong and hurtful to experience of new Symfony+Doctrine developers.

Also, connecting to the database while just getting a repository seems overkill IMO… getRepository should return a newly instanciated repository class, but any access to the database (or any other costly operation) should happen later, when using the repository.

greg0ire on Dec 21, 2016

@kimhemsoe if so, why doesn’t getPlatform() assume the lowest common denominator?

In the meantime, Symfony standard edition could just ship with a MySQL version set as it does assume MySQL already.

dkarlovi on Mar 7, 2017

@Soullivaneuh @greg0ire https://github.com/doctrine/DoctrineBundle/issues/561#issuecomment-238904950

Short story, if “getPlatform*” is called at any point and the driver does not know the version, it will try to detect the version.

In the beginning of dbal, there was only one platform per vendor. This have changed but the usage pattern of platforms have not.

kimhemsoe on Dec 21, 2016

@stof sure! First, the relevant package versions used by this app:

$ composer show

doctrine/annotations                 v1.2.7             Docblock Annotations Parser
doctrine/cache                       v1.6.0             Caching library offering an object-oriented API for many cache backends

doctrine/orm                         v2.5.4             Object-Relational-Mapper for PHP
...

When using this config:

doctrine:
    dbal:
        server_version: 5.5

Everything works perfect:

$ php app/console cache:clear

 // Clearing the cache for the dev environment with debug true


 [OK] Cache for the "dev" environment (debug=true) was successfully cleared.

If I comment the server_version config:

doctrine:
    dbal:
        # server_version: 5.5

Nothing works anymore:

$ php app/console cache:clear -vvv

You are probably going to tell me that it’s not Doctrine fault because: cache:clear -> cache warmup -> Twig -> Security -> user provider -> database connection.

However, please consider that:

Before DBAL 2.5 this code worked (the same cache warmup, Twig, security, user provider, etc.)
Adding/removing a DBAL config option makes the application work/fail.

Thanks!

This seems because you’re relying in the auto-detection of platform to be used. Configure the platform to be used as part of DoctrineBundle and live happy. =)
