Resolving target entities from abstract class seems to not working as expected

[emulienfou]

Hello, according to the How to Define Relationships with Abstract Classes and Interfaces, I should be able to use the ResolveTargetEntityListener to resolve an abstract class to a specific entity.

However, this "feature" seems to not working properly.

1. Using an interface

Here is the PHP code used to resolve the interface to the entity class;

$registry
    ->getManager()
    ->getMetadataFactory()
    ->getMetadataFor(RedirectRouteInterface::class)
    ->getName();

$registry is an instance of \Doctrine\Common\Persistence\ManagerRegistry

When configuring doctrine using an interface like:

doctrine:
    orm:
        resolve_target_entities:
            Symfony\Cmf\Component\Routing\RedirectRouteInterface: App\Entity\RedirectRoute

everything is working perfectly and the name is equals to App\Entity\RedirectRoute

2. Using an abstract class

Now when I'm trying to resolve an entity from an abstract class, the resolver seems to not working properly.
Here is the PHP code used to resolve the abstract class to the entity class:

$registry
    ->getManager()
    ->getMetadataFactory()
    ->getMetadataFor(AbstractRedirectRoute::class)
    ->getName();

$registry is an instance of \Doctrine\Common\Persistence\ManagerRegistry

When configuring doctrine using an abstract class like:

doctrine:
    orm:
        resolve_target_entities:
            App\Model\AbstractRedirectRoute: App\Entity\RedirectRoute

In that case, the resolver is returning the abstract class FQCN: App\Model\AbstractRedirectRoute.

Weird thing is, to be able to resolve the abstract class I need to make the call to getAllMetadata() method like:

$registry
    ->getManager()
    ->getMetadataFactory()
    ->getAllMetadata();
$registry
    ->getManager()
    ->getMetadataFactory()
    ->getMetadataFor(AbstractRedirectRoute::class)
    ->getName();

In that case, the entity is resolved correctly!

Is this an issue or more a miss-configuration on my side?

@emulienfou I've moved the issue to the ORM repository as the bundle only configures the class contained here with the data you pass in the configuration. I would assume there's an issue with the logic here.

Can this be reproduced solely with the ClassMetadataFactory?

[teohhanhui]

Could be the same as: doctrine/common#369 (doctrine/persistence#27)

Described this problem in test project:
hxss/doctrine-resolver/src/Controller/DefaultController.php

And temporary workaround:
hxss/doctrine-resolver/edition/src/DependencyInjection/EditionExtension.php

If you still can/know how to reproduce this issue, could you check if #10411 helps?

Sorry, it’s not related as I initially thought
