A few key notes on my environment:
- I have an app that is built on WordPress and we’re using Doctrine as our ORM.
- In order to maintain WP’s integrity, we let WP handle the creation of users
- Every WP object and custom object is mapped properly through Doctrine.
The situation is:
// 1. Create a user via **WP** function (which returns ID)
$wp_user_id = wp_insert_user($wp_user_array);
// 2. Then, I need to immediately retrieve that user object via Doctrine
$wp_user = $MyDb->em->getRepository('WpUsers')->findOneBy(array('id'=>$wp_user_id));
// 3. RESULT = NULL
The object is not found, presumably because the Entity is cached or stored in memory somewhere by Doctrine.
How can I force Doctrine to go look at the DB and get this newly created user?
You can clear doctrine cache with
See http://doctrine-orm.readthedocs.org/en/latest/reference/working-with-objects.html (search for clear method)
The solution for this ended up being fairly simple. After trying
clear(),refresh()and force clearing Doctrine’s cache I was running out of options.It turns out what I had to do to get Doctrine to check that the new record was created, is close and open the connection:
Not the most ideal solution, I know, but it works and I have been debugging this for five days now!
