Description
Let's consider the example from Behat tests of this repository.
We have VoDummyCar that has a collection of VoDummyInspection[] entities (with constructor public function __construct(bool $accepted, VoDummyCar $car...).
We already have separate tests that create VoDummyCar and VoDymmyInspection for particular car
POST /vo_dummy_car
core/features/serializer/vo_relations.feature
Lines 9 to 25 in f8693d1
POST /vo_dummy_inspections
core/features/serializer/vo_relations.feature
Lines 56 to 61 in f8693d1
What does not work?
Someone might want to create VoDummyInspection entities at the same time when VoDummyCar is being created, providing a nested array.
It turned out, that such request does not work with ApiPlatform:
{
"mileage": 1500,
"bodyType": "suv",
"make": "CustomCar",
"insuranceCompany": {
"name": "Safe Drive Company"
},
"drivers": [],
"inspections": [
{
"performed": "2018-08-24 00:00:00",
"accepted": false
}
]
}Expected result
Running the query above, I expect new VoDummyCar to be created as well as new VoDummyInspections to be created for this VoDummyCar (in this case - just one entity).
Actual Result
-
When I modify existing tests - nothing happens.
inspectionskey from JSON is ignored (I have addedaddInspectionandremoveInspectionmethods to make this property writable, but it didn't help). -
In my project, I get an error something like
Cannot create an instance of VoDummyInspection from serialized data because its constructor requires parameter \"car\" to be present.
Any suggestions about possible implementation?
