[make:entity] Crash when return type from DoctrineHelper is mixed

[pkly]

Hello,

I'm able to reliably crash the make:entity command on 1.61 because of the following line:

maker-bundle/src/Doctrine/DoctrineHelper.php

Line 291 in ce60831

return $returnType->isBuiltin() ? $returnType->getName() : '\\'.$returnType->getName();

As this helper relies on the convertToPHPValue return type (very clever btw) it will crash if the return value is set to mixed. This can be replicated with any custom doctrine type that is set in the application, with the following stack trace.

in BuilderHelpers.php line 208:
                                 
  [LogicException]               
  mixed type cannot be nullable

It appears that the builder tries to make a field with type mixed|null or ?mixed but mixed already implicitly includes null, which causes the error.

After updating the return type for our custom type from mixed to a more sensible string|null the error has stopped. Maybe in such a case a note should be printed to cli?

Hello,

How can we reproduce the bug with make:entity command?

As I've pointed out above, you can trigger the crash by changing the return type of convertToPHPValue to mixed on the doctrine type class you're using while selecting the field.

For example, you could modify the built-in string column type for doctrine to return that from said method. A crash should occur then.
