Doctrine 2 - How to update schema with new enum values?

Question

Following Doctrine 2's enum defining a type guide, I have the following class:

class EnumStatusType extends EnumType
{
    protected $name   = 'enumStatusType';
    protected $values = [
        'active',
    ];
}

Now, using vendor/bin/doctrine-module migrations:diff, or vendor/bin/doctrine-module orm:schema-tool:update or whichever you prefer, it successfully creates the column with the enum:

status ENUM(\'active\') COMMENT \'(DC2Type:enumStatusType)\' NOT NULL

Now, I wanted to add a second value, inactive. But after running orm:validate-schema, orm:schema-tool:update migrations:diff, none of them notices there is a new value.

How can I make it so that it detects this type of changes, so that a new migration can be made with migrations:diff?

PS: I'm using ZF2, with the DoctrineORMModule. Not that it should matter though.

You can try adding the enum values list in each field comment option, using the postGenerateSchema event:

class EnumListener
{
    public function postGenerateSchema(\Doctrine\ORM\Tools\Event\GenerateSchemaEventArgs $eventArgs)
    {
        $columns = [];

        foreach ($eventArgs->getSchema()->getTables() as $table) {
            foreach ($table->getColumns() as $column) {
                if ($column->getType() instanceof EnumType) {
                    $columns[] = $column;
                }
            }
        }

        /** @var \Doctrine\DBAL\Schema\Column $column */
        foreach ($columns as $column) {
            $column->setComment(trim(sprintf('%s (%s)', $column->getComment(), implode(',', $column->getType()->getEnum()::toArray()))));
        }
    }
}

Works for the orm:schema-tool:update command, I suppose it's the same for migrations:diff
