Doctrine Query Builder not working with UPDATE and INNER JOIN

Question

In my repository I have this query:

$qb = $this->getEntityManager()->createQueryBuilder();
$qb
    ->update(\'MyBundle:Entity1\', \'e1\') 
    ->         


        

Answer 1

Doctrine DQL does not support join in update.

Try doing the following :

$qb = $this->getEntityManager()->createQueryBuilder();
$qb
    ->update('MyBundle:Entity1', 'e1') 
    ->set('e1.visibile', '1')
    ->where('e1.Entity2 = :id')
    ->setParameter("id", 123)
;

You can set the id, as long as it is the primary key, of the linked entity directly as if it was the entity, Doctrine will map it.

I'm doing the exact same thing in my queries and it works.
