Class "string" does not exist

[dehy]

Describe the bug
I'm searching in a CrudController and got Class "string" does not exist

To Reproduce

• Use EasyAdminBundle (my version: 4.4.2) with DoctrineEnumBundle.
• Define an Entity with a Doctrine property handled by DoctrineEnumBundle (see below)
• Search breaks

Additional context
Why ? DoctrineEnumBundle defines classes that makes us able to use enum in entities in the form of string. So the doctrine type is a subclass of DoctrineEnumBundle\...\AbstractEnumType but the stored value is a string.

namespace App\Entity;

// use ...

class MyEntity
{
    // other properties

    // this custom type is registered in `config/packages/doctrine.yaml` as per DoctrineEnumBundle doc
    #[ORM\Column(type: 'ContestType', nullable: true)]
    private ?string $contestType = null;

    // setters and getters
}

namespace App\DBAL\Types;

use Fresh\DoctrineEnumBundle\DBAL\Types\AbstractEnumType;

/**
 * @extends AbstractEnumType<string, string>
 */
final class ContestType extends AbstractEnumType
{
    public const FEDERAL = 'federal';
    public const INTERNATIONAL = 'international';

    protected static array $choices = [
        self::FEDERAL => 'Fédéral',
        self::INTERNATIONAL => 'International',
    ];
}

The forms would display a <select> widget with those 2 options and I can easily render the human readable text with a simple twig filter. The effective property value stored by doctrine is one of the const values (strings).

Potential solution

The problematic line (L149) with context

EasyAdminBundle/src/Orm/EntityRepository.php

Lines 136 to 152 in 76d8585

	if (!$isBoolean &&
	!$isSmallIntegerProperty &&
	!$isIntegerProperty &&
	!$isNumericProperty &&
	!$isTextProperty &&
	!$isGuidProperty &&
	!$isUlidProperty &&
	!$isJsonProperty
	) {
	$idClassType = (new \ReflectionProperty($entityDto->getFqcn(), $propertyName))->getType();
	if (null !== $idClassType) {
	$idClassName = $idClassType->getName();
	$isUlidProperty = (new \ReflectionClass($idClassName))->isSubclassOf(Ulid::class);
	$isGuidProperty = (new \ReflectionClass($idClassName))->isSubclassOf(Uuid::class);
	}
	}

As I undertand, this lib search for the property Doctrine type, and if it doesn't find default one (string, boolean, array...), it thinks it should be a custom PHP Class and try to Reflect it. But in my case, it's a custom doctrine type with a php scalar type.

My workaround for my case

 $idClassType = (new \ReflectionProperty($entityDto->getFqcn(), $propertyName))->getType(); 
  
  // we should ideally check if it is scalar type (string, float, ...)
 if (null !== $idClassType && 'string' !== $idClassType->getName()) { 
     $idClassName = $idClassType->getName(); 
     $isUlidProperty = (new \ReflectionClass($idClassName))->isSubclassOf(Ulid::class); 
     $isGuidProperty = (new \ReflectionClass($idClassName))->isSubclassOf(Uuid::class); 
 }

I am also running into this bug. I'm using a custom Geography doctrine type from the Doctrine PostGIS package.

The crud controller search works until I add an entity attribute using one of the PostGIS doctrine types:

    #[ORM\Column(type: PostGISType::GEOGRAPHY)]
    private ?string $location = null;
