Scenario

I have a Product entity and an Advert entity.
Advert 1 was linked to Product 1, I change it to be linked to Product 2.

Facts

The process calls Doctrine\ORM\UnitOfWork::executeUpdates and on line 1060 an Error is thrown:

Catchable Fatal Error: Argument 3 passed to Doctrine\ORM\Event\PreUpdateEventArgs::__construct() must be of the type array, null given, called in /var/www/project/vendor/doctrine/orm/lib/Doctrine/ORM/UnitOfWork.php on line 1060 and defined

because $this->entityChangeSets[$oid] is null
