Hello, I have a doubt about the merge functionality. I have posted my findings & question also on stackoverflow <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30217110/related-doctrine-proxy-object-does-not-lazy-load-attributes-after-merge-of-paren>, slightly adapted.
I have an entity Child that has a relation to Father (ManyToOne). There is no Merge cascade configured. When I receive an updated Child from a REST API and merge it to update it in the database, somewhere on the way the Father relation is lost and it seems as if the Child didn't have a Father. // $child is a json object with child and some attributes of the related father $unmanagedChild = $serializer->deserialize($child, 'MyBundle\Child', 'json' ); echo $unmanagedChild->getFather()->getName(); // result is John // at this point i have Child object with a correctly set relation to Father with all attributes set from the json $managedChild = $entityManager->merge($child); echo $managedChild->getFather()->getName(); // result is empty So the Entity Manager replaced the Father relation with a Father Proxy removing all the attributes. But the proxy doesn't trigger a lazy load (query to db) either as I would have expected (i thought that's the core purpose of the proxy). I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I don't understand how the merge() method is supposed to work. Any hint appreciated!
