It seems like you code against a concrete implementation and not the interface Doctrine\Common\Persistence\ObjectManager as the method getConnection() does only exist in the following implementations of said interface: Doctrine\ORM\Decorator\EntityManagerDecorator, Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager.
Let’s take a look at an example:
interfaceUser{/** @return string */publicfunctiongetPassword();}classMyUserimplementsUser{publicfunctiongetPassword(){// return something}publicfunctiongetDisplayName(){// return some name.}}classAuthSystem{publicfunctionauthenticate(User$user){$this->logger->info(sprintf('Authenticating %s.',$user->getDisplayName()));// do something.}}
In the above example, the authenticate() method works fine as long as you just pass
instances of MyUser. However, if you now also want to pass a different implementation
of User which does not have a getDisplayName() method, the code will break.
classAuthSystem{publicfunctionauthenticate(User$user){if($userinstanceofMyUser){$this->logger->info(/** ... */);}// or alternativelyif(!$userinstanceofMyUser){thrownew\LogicException('$user must be an instance of MyUser, '.'other instances are not supported.');}}}
Note: PHP Analyzer uses reverse abstract interpretation to narrow down the types
inside the if block in such a case.
$this->getEntityManager() is of type object<Doctrine\Common\Persistence\ObjectManager>, but the function expects a null|object<Doctrine\ORM\EntityManagerInterface>.
It seems like the type of the argument is not accepted by the function/method
which you are calling.
In some cases, in particular if PHP’s automatic type-juggling kicks in this
might be fine. In other cases, however this might be a bug.
We suggest to add an explicit type cast like in the following example:
functionacceptsInteger($int){}$x='123';// string "123"// Instead ofacceptsInteger($x);// we recommend to useacceptsInteger((integer)$x);
