To fix code style problems, simply run: composer cs-fix.

After making changes as suggested in my comments, you can run checks: composer sa, and see if there are still any problems. If you don't know how to fix them, please push the changes, and we will try to investigate.

[patel-vansh]

Hello @michalsn, I see there are two checks failing. I don't know how to fix them, can you please guide me?

I think the copy-paste detection check can be solved by creating a new function (if its okay to introduce a new function).

For the other check, I really can't see where its going wrong.

Thanks for you help.

Add above comments to the tests, and then run: composer phpstan:baseline - this will update the baseline. Not sure why this happened, but nothing is added, just the line numbers are changed, so we should be good.

As for CPD handling, we can try to make a separate method, but it probably will be catched again, because the code will be very similart to one used in transformDataToArray() method. Anyway, we should try to create something like transformDataRowToArray(). It should comment in PHPDocs like:

/**
* @used-by insertBatch()
* @used-by updateBatch()
*
* @deprecated Since 4.6.4, temporary solution - will be removed in 4.7
*/

If it still be catched by CPD, you can try an "ugly hack" by changing code comments a bit or entirely removing them from this method.

I've created a protected performCasting function which does casting.

[michalsn]

Instead of using performCasting(), please try the approach below. Abstracting only a small portion of the transformation feels unnecessary, especially for a temporary method.

protectedfunctiontransformDataRowToArray(array$row): array
{
if ($this->useCasts()) {
if (is_array($row)) {
$row = $this->converter->toDataSource($row);
} elseif ($rowinstanceof stdClass) {
$row = (array) $row;
$row = $this->converter->toDataSource($row);
} elseif ($rowinstanceof Entity) {
$row = $this->converter->extract($row);
} elseif (is_object($row)) {
$row = $this->converter->extract($row);
}
} elseif (is_object($row) && ! $rowinstanceof stdClass) {
$row = $this->objectToArray($row, false, true);
}
if (is_object($row)) {
$row = (array) $row;
}
return$this->timeToString($row);
}

[patel-vansh]

I've made requested changes. Also, retained comments.

[michalsn]

Looks good, thanks! Let's see what others think.

For reference: transformDataRowToArray() method is deprecated. After merging, I'll create a new PR targeting the 4.7 branch, where we'll use only transformDataToArray(). That method depends on additional settings such as allowEmptyInserts and updateOnlyChanged. Applying those requirements now could cause problems in some use cases, so introducing them in the 4.7 branch is the safer approach.

If someone else merges this, please use "Squash and merge".
