Error setDate must implement interface DateTimeInterface symfony fixtures

I search in stackoverflow but i didn't find the answer. I have this error :

Argument 1 passed to App\Entity\Matchs::setDate() must implement interface DateTimeInterface, bool given,

I have this in my fixtures :

$match1 = new Matchs();
$m1->setDescription('Description ')
   ->setDate(\DateTime::createFromFormat('d-m-Y hh:mm', '25-12-2001 20:30')) 
$manager->persist($m1);

So I don't understand why it does not work because I have implemented the DateTimeInterface interface... Thansk for help

Solution

  • The DateTime::createFromFormat failed do create a DateTime, and in this case return false.

    I belive that problem is the format, instead 'd-m-Y hh:mm' try 'd-m-Y H:i'

    You can see a complete list of you can use in the format here https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.format.php.
