zend 1.11 and doctrine2 proxies not hydrating entity correctly setting fields to null

Question

I have a problem with my doctrine 2.0 proxies not hydrating its entity correctly causing the entities fields to return null when calling themn see below:-

snippet from https://github.com/andyfenna/AJF-IT/blob/master/library/AJFIT/ACL/Factory.php line 60

foreach($arrRoleResources as $roleResource) { //$roleResouces is a proxy entity

        $role = $roleResource->getRoleFk(); //

        $roleName = $role->getName(); //roleName becomes null even through the pk is populated

}

My project is on git hub https://github.com/andyfenna/AJF-IT

The proxy when generated is saved like library\\AJFIT\\Entity\\Proxy\\AJFITEntityUserRoleResourcesProxy.php

Should the proxy not be saved like library\\AJFIT\\Entity\\Proxy\\UserRoleResourcesProxy.php? or am I missing something?

The proxy class looks like the below and are automatically generated by doctrine.

The UserRoleResources.php entity is saved in library\\AJFIT\\Entity\\

Proxy:- AJFITEntityUserRoleResourcesProxy.php

Does anyone have any ideas? any help in the matter will be mush apprieciated.

Thank-you

I have included the debug steps that I am going through, hope someone knows whats going on:-

Initial break point

Step through to proxy

Step through to proxy load

Hyradation of entity

Return to proxy

Step into entity

Return to caller (you can see that the variable $roleName is null why??)

Answer 1

I had faced similar issue ie one of my entity property is not storing its value in Database

Root cause was its annotation was incorrect (ie somehow backtick came into annotation)

/**` (this backtick is culprit)
 * @var string
 *
 * @ORM\Column(name="condition", type="text", nullable=true)
 */

If some one facing similar issue, first need to check its annotation part

ps: I know this question is year old but i am answer this because it may help others
