SOAP-ERROR: Encoding: object has no 'propety_name' property in object

[ashgaliyev]

Hello!
I have a complex object with an array of other complex objects (several hundred). It is generated automatically once per day and saved serialised into a file. And I have web-service based on yii2-soap-server, which serves this object from the file to clients. Sometimes it returns following error:

SOAP-ERROR: Encoding: object has no 'property_name' property in
/var/www/site/vendor/subdee/yii2-soap-server/SoapService.php:172

Maybe one or few objects miss this 'property_name' while generating stage, but I haven't found the bug yet.

My question: is there a way to find (var_dump maybe) the object which causes the error ?

yii2-soap-server : ea980cf
php version: 7.0.15

That, or use logging at the debug level to record the object about to be encoded.

However, it looks like the object you are passing doesn't have all the required properties.

@subdee Thank you! But where in SoapService I can place var_dump to find the object ?

Try adding var_dump($provider); right before line 172 ($server->handle();)

The problem is with Array of objects

For example:

public class sampleController
{
    /**
     * @return Foo[]
     * @soap
     */
    public function foo() {
        $foo = new Foo();
        $foo->message = 'test';
        return [ $foo; ]
    }
}

public class Foo
{
      public $message;
}

Method call raises the error: SOAP-ERROR: Encoding: object has no 'message' property.
Because SoapServer tries to set 'message' property on array.

Which in turn is caused by wrong wsdl format.

I replaced WsdlGenerator with code from another repository
https://github.com/borodulin/yii2-services/blob/master/WsdlGenerator.php and it all worked.

I don't know what exactly wrong with WsdlGenerator.

Maybe this workaround helps with someone who stuck with the same problem.
