Sonata Media Bundle Installation error

Question

'm trying to install sonata media bundle on a symfony 3.3.6

I'm folowing this doc : https://sonata-project.org/bundles/media/3-x/doc/reference/installation.html

But I have an error when i'm using this command line, to generate DB : php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force

the error message :

[Doctrine\DBAL\DBALException] Unknown column type "json" requested. Any Doctrine type that you use has to be registered with \Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::addType(). You can get a list of all the known types with \Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::getTypesMap(). If this error occurs during database introspection then you might have forgot to register all database types for a Doctrine Type. Use AbstractPlatform#registerDoctrineType Mapping() or have your custom types implement Type#getMappedDatabaseTypes(). If the type name is empty you might have a problem with the cache or forgot some mapping information.

my config.yml is taken from the documentation. I reviewed all such articles and nowhere can I find an answer. Why does this error occur? Help please, I'm starting to be disappointed

Answer 1

You have to add json type in your doctrine configuration:

doctrine:
    dbal:
      types:
          json:     Sonata\Doctrine\Types\JsonType

In your config file, you have doctrine section twice. The first one is applied:

doctrine:
    dbal:
        driver: pdo_mysql
        host: '%database_host%'
        port: '%database_port%'
        dbname: '%database_name%'
        user: '%database_user%'
        password: '%database_password%'
        charset: UTF8
        # if using pdo_sqlite as your database driver:
        #   1. add the path in parameters.yml
        #     e.g. database_path: '%kernel.project_dir%/var/data/data.sqlite'
        #   2. Uncomment database_path in parameters.yml.dist
        #   3. Uncomment next line:
        #path: '%database_path%'

    orm:
        auto_generate_proxy_classes: '%kernel.debug%'
        naming_strategy: doctrine.orm.naming_strategy.underscore
        auto_mapping: true

and you didn't define the JSON type there.
