Elasticsearch support Normalization error

[ismail1432]

Hi everyone,
Thanks for this great work !

I'm using api-platform/core": "^2.4.0-beta.1", I followed Documentation to set up the Elasticsearch support and when I want to GET a collection with a DateTime attribute

/**
     * @var \DateTimeInterface
     *
     * @Gedmo\Timestampable(on="create")
     * @ORM\Column(name="created_at", type="datetime")
     * @Groups("timestampable_read")
     */
    private $createdAt;

I have the following issue :
Cannot create an instance of DateTime from serialized data because its constructor requires parameter \"time\" to be present.

Stack trace

Symfony\Component\Serializer\Exception\MissingConstructorArgumentsException:
Cannot create an instance of DateTime from serialized data because its constructor requires parameter "time" to be present.

                }
            }
        }
    }
}

And I PUT http://localhost:9200/edenred_admin/_doc/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001

{
     "full_name": "Lucky",
      "username": "jdoe",
      "site": "/sites/f45b3272-122a-4e29-a257-65c6d22829cd",
      "plain_password": "Passw0rd!",
      "admin": false,
      "sedentary_edenred_admin": false,
      "enabled": true,
	  "uuid": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001",
      "roles": ["ROLE_CE_LISTE_UPDATE", "ROLE_ONGLET_PARAMETRES_AVANCES_UPDATE"],
      "store": "/stores/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001",
      "created_at": "2017-03-03 03:03:03",
      "id": 1
}

The error occurs when I Get on api/edenred_admin
Thanks

[ismail1432]

To avoid the issue I had this in service.yaml with a priority higher than api_platform.elasticsearch.normalizer.item

  datetime_normalizer:
        class: Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\DateTimeNormalizer
        public: false
        tags:
            - { name: serializer.normalizer, priority: 9 }

This is definitely a bug, we're in the process of fixing priority issues in api-platform/core#2495

[ismail1432]

Sorry I missed that.

[ismail1432]

Cloed because the problem doesn't appears in 2.4.0
thanks @soyuka
