I have an entity that looks like this:
/**
* @Gedmo\Tree(type="nested")
* @ORM\Table(name="categories")
* @ORM\Entity()
*/
class Category extends BaseCategory
{
/**
* @ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="Category", mappedBy="parent")
*/
protected $children;
/**
* @Gedmo\TreeParent
* @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="Category", inversedBy="children")
* @ORM\JoinColumn(name="parent_id", referencedColumnName="id", onDelete="SET NULL")
*/
protected $parent;
}
and I am trying to run a query like this:
$qb = $this->em->createQueryBuilder()
->select('c.parent')
->from('Category', 'c');
$result = $qb->getQuery()->getArrayResult();
However, I am getting the following error:
[Semantical Error] ... Error: Invalid PathExpression. Must be a StateFieldPathExpression.
How can I select the parent_id field from my table. I have tried a bunch of variations and even if I do something like this:
$qb = $this->em->createQueryBuilder()
->select('c')
->from('Category', 'c');
I get all fields in the table except for the parent_id. This seems like Doctrine is getting in the way. How can I query for this parent_id field? or better yet how can I get all fields in the table including the parent_id
You can use the currently undocumented IDENTITY
function to select the FK IDs in a query:
SELECT IDENTITY(c.parent) ...
