Original Pull Request: https://github.com/doctrine/orm/pull/5809

State: closed
Merged: No

If I define an association on an embeddable, the following happens:

The schema validates without errors;
Yet my association is ignored!

There are two ways to solve this problem: invalidate the schema, or add associations of the embeddable.

Personally I would find it intuitive if the associations work. Currently we've placed a workaround, but we'd prefer adding the association mapping in the embeddable.

According to #4291, Doctrine consciously does not support associations in embeddables. That is why I opted for stricter validation. That way the error would have at least been found sooner.
