findOneBy() and findBy() not working with embedded fields

[Cătălin Buletin]

This is part of my UserMapping

public function map(Fluent $builder)
    {
        $builder->increments('id');
        $builder->embed(FirstName::class)->noPrefix();
        $builder->embed(LastName::class)->noPrefix();
        $builder->embed(Email::class)->noPrefix();
    }

When I try to:

        $users = $this->userRepository->findOneBy([
            'email' => '[e-mail]'
        ]);

I get this:
Doctrine \ ORM \ ORMException Unrecognized field: email

But if I change the UserMapping to use a string instead of the embedded field

public function map(Fluent $builder)
    {
        $builder->increments('id');
        $builder->embed(FirstName::class)->noPrefix();
        $builder->embed(LastName::class)->noPrefix();
        $builder->string('email');
    }

This will work as expected.

Any thoughts of why i get Unrecognized field: email when the field is a ValueObject?

Thank you!

This is not really a specific Fluent problem. This is how Doctrine embedded fields work.

You need to query on the embedded name and the field within that embedded.
E.g.:

 $users = $this->userRepository->findOneBy([
            'email.address' => '[e-mail]'
        ]);
