Doctrine2 Update Caused AnnotationRegistry registerLoader Error in Zend Framework 3

Question

I'm working on a CMS based on Zend Framework 3.0 to manage a DB I with Doctrine. What is my problem when managing packages with composer? Recently, I updated all the packages to newest versions and sent it to server, nothing was changed in other files. After the update my site displayed the following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Return value of Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationRegistry::registerLoader() must be an instance of Doctrine\Common\Annotations\void, none returned in /home/platne/serwer18346/vendor/doctrine/annotations/lib/Doctrine/Common/Annotations/AnnotationRegistry.php:117 Stack trace: #0 /home/platne/serwer18346/vendor/doctrine/doctrine-module/src/DoctrineModule/Module.php(57): Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationRegistry::registerLoader(Object(Closure)) #1 /home/platne/serwer18346/vendor/zendframework/zend-modulemanager/src/Listener/InitTrigger.php(33): DoctrineModule\Module->init(Object(Zend\ModuleManager\ModuleManager)) #2 /home/platne/serwer18346/vendor/zendframework/zend-eventmanager/src/EventManager.php(322): Zend\ModuleManager\Listener\InitTrigger->__invoke(Object(Zend\ModuleManager\ModuleEvent)) #3 /home/platne/serwer18346/vendor/zendframework/zend-eventmanager/src/EventManager.php(171): Zend\EventManager\EventManager->triggerListeners(Object(Zend\ModuleManager\ModuleEvent)) #4 /home/p in /home/platne/serwer18346/vendor/doctrine/annotations/lib/Doctrine/Common/Annotations/AnnotationRegistry.php on line 117

Some application code if needed:
modules:

return [
    'Zend\Router',
    'Zend\Validator',
    'DoctrineModule',
    'DoctrineORMModule',
    'Core',
];

development.local(developer mode is active):

'doctrine' => [
        'connection' => [
            'orm_default' => [
                'driverClass' => Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOMySql\Driver::class,
                'params' => [
                    'host' => '******',
                    'user' => '*******',
                    'password' => '******',
                    'dbname' => '*******',
                    'charset' => 'utf8'
                ]
            ]
        ]
    ]

module.config:

'doctrine' => [
        'driver' => [
            __NAMESPACE__ . '_driver' => [
                'class' => AnnotationDriver::class,
                'cache' => 'array',
                'paths' => [__DIR__.'/../src/Model']
            ],
            'orm_default' => [
                'drivers' => [
                    __NAMESPACE__ . '\Model' => __NAMESPACE__ . '_driver'
                ]
            ]
        ]
    ]

Controller Factory:

public function __invoke(ContainerInterface $container,$requestedName, array $options = null)
{
    $controllerInstance = null;
    switch($requestedName){
        case 'Core\Controller\IndexController': $controllerInstance = $this->_invokeIndex($container); break;
        case 'Core\Controller\PagesController': $controllerInstance = $this->_invokePages($container); break;
    }
    return $controllerInstance;
}

protected function _invokeIndex(ContainerInterface $container)
{
    return new Controller\IndexController(
        $container->get('doctrine.entitymanager.orm_default')
    );
}

protected function _invokePages(ContainerInterface $container)
{
    return new Controller\PagesController(
        $container->get('doctrine.entitymanager.orm_default')
    );
}

Controller Parent:

 protected $_entityManager;

    /**
     * AppController constructor.
     * @param EntityManager $entityManager
     */
    public function __construct(EntityManager $entityManager)
    {
        $this->_entityManager = $entityManager;
    }

    /**
     * @return EntityManager
     */
    public function getEntityManager()
    {
        return $this->_entityManager;
    }

As I said this code worked before update. After update it show me that error, what is more after uploading previous versions the error remains. I triead rewriting code but with the same effect.

Composer(without project data):

"require": {
    "zendframework/zend-mvc": "*",
    "zendframework/zend-developer-tools": "*",
    "zendframework/zend-session": "*",
    "zendframework/zend-authentication": "*",
    "zfcampus/zf-development-mode": "*",
    "doctrine/doctrine-orm-module": "*"
  },
  "autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
      "Core\\": "module/Core/src/"
    }
  }

Answer 1

This error caused by the latest version of Doctrine\Common\Annotations use PHP 7.1. That's why it use void as return type. And it is not supported on PHP 7.0.*. This is new feature in PHP 7.1

I use doctrine-orm-module 1.1 in my ZF3 project using PHP 7.0. And it work well. So, just replace your doctrine-orm-module version to 1.1.

"doctrine/doctrine-orm-module": "^1.1"

I suggest you to define the version of dependencies you used in composer. This is purposed to make your project not broken when new version of dependencies released.

Answer 2

To avoid this kind of problems, a good practice is to set the composer config.platform setting:

"config": {
    "platform": {
        "php": "7.0.23"
    }
 }

This will tell composer to update packages but only to a version that still supports this PHP version. So typically, this version number will be the version of your production server.
