[warning] array_flip(): Can only flip STRING and INTEGER values, when saving a non-revisionable custom content entity

Created on 6 June 2022, over 2 years ago
Updated 19 June 2024, 6 months ago

Problem/Motivation

I have a quite simple, fieldable custom content entity type: It only has a base table (no separate data-table, no revision-tables, and non-translatable). It is declared in a class's annotation.

When I update any entity of this type programmatically I get this warning:

> [warning] array_flip(): Can only flip STRING and INTEGER values! EntityChangesDetectionTrait.php:34

I checked the documentation, and compared also my c.e.t. definition with other c.e.t. definitions but I couldn't spot anything relevant. Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems that in this method: \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityChangesDetectionTrait::getFieldsToSkipFromTranslationChangesCheck

    $fields = [
      $entity_type->getKey('revision'), // This is FALSE for my entity type
      $entity_type->getKey('revision_translation_affected'), // This is FALSE for my entity type
    ];

    $fields = array_merge($fields, array_values($entity_type->getRevisionMetadataKeys())); // The first 2 elements have FALSE value

    foreach (array_diff_key($entity->getFieldDefinitions(), array_flip($fields)) as $field_name => $field_definition) { // The array_flip is throwing the warning

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a custom content entity type with just a base table (no data-table, no revisions, no translations)
  2. Create an entity of this type
  3. Load the entity programmatically, change any field value, and save it.

Proposed resolution

The $fields array in the above snippet should be filtered to remove any FALSE values, before using it as input in the array_flip.

    Reopening the issue since the problem is still here on D10.2.3.

    This is the relevant part of the stacktrace:

    Looking at \Drupal\Core\Entity\ContentEntityStorageBase::populateAffectedRevisionTranslations which I think would be the calling parent here, can you check if it gets inside the if statement

        if ($this->entityType->isTranslatable() && $this->entityType->isRevisionable()) {
    

    I suspect it should not, so you might need to check those two methods.

    Up until the array_flip that throws the warning, the \Drupal\Core\Entity\ContentEntityStorageBase::populateAffectedRevisionTranslations is not called at all.

    I created a merge request.

    This may count as not needing tests but think should least include a comment for the change.

    Going to lean on this being small enough to not need test coverage so will mark.

    I feel this one is valid enough to add tests for.

    \Drupal\entity_test\Entity\EntityTest in core only has a base table, no data table etc.
