mapping_types configuration option make doctrine:database:create throw an error

[lexwolfy]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to use enum in my symfony project with this solution :

doctrine:
    /* config */
    mapping_types:
        enum: string

But after adding this option to my config.xml, doctrine:database:create command doesn't work anymore, throwing me this error :

[Doctrine\DBAL\Exception\ConnectionException]                                     
An exception occured in driver: SQLSTATE[42000] [1049] Unknown database 'databasename'

After few researches, I figured out that adding mapping_types cause doctrine to check for databasePlatform and databasePlatformVersion by connecting to database using the databasename in connection param but the database is not created yet.. so error.

Did I miss something in my config ? Even so, I think this error shouldn't be.

Thanks,

@lexwolfy, did you manage to get a work-around for this?

[lexwolfy]

I do not use doctrine:database:create anymore, but a mysql command line instead... and then doctrine:schema:update

@lexwolfy , @bassim, try this:

parameters:

workaround to avoid DB init failure (#351 (comment))

database_server_version: 5.5

[deeky666]

The parameter is called server_version

[dvc]

exactly! :)

parameters:
  database_server_version: 5.5

doctrine:
  dbal:
    connections:
        default:
            server_version: %database_server_version%

Setting the version_version fixes the issue. This is an issue from dbal and not much we can do about it here. Closing.
