when im calling

$transactionitem->pay($amount, $date); $entitymanager->persist($transactionitem); $entitymanager->flush(); 

transactionitem.php

public function pay($amount, \datetime $date = null) {         $payment = new payment(             uuid::uuid4()->tostring(),             $this,             $amount,             $date ?? new \datetime());          $this->payments[] = $payment; } 

im expecting can transactionitem on doctrine callbacks here:

services.yml

services:     app.doctrine_event_listener:         class: appbundle\event\domaineventlistener         arguments: ["@app.domain_event_dispatcher"]         tags:             - { name: doctrine.event_listener, event: postpersist }             - { name: doctrine.event_listener, event: postupdate }             - { name: doctrine.event_listener, event: postremove }             - { name: doctrine.event_listener, event: postflush }      app.domain_event_dispatcher:         class: appbundle\event\defaulteventdispatcher 

the listener:

 class domaineventlistener     {         private $entities = array();          /** @var domaineventdispatcher */         private $dispatcher;          public function __construct(domaineventdispatcher $dispatcher)         {             $this->dispatcher = $dispatcher;         }          public function postpersist($event)         {             $this->keepaggregateroots($event);         }          public function postupdate($event)         {             $this->keepaggregateroots($event);         }          public function postremove($event)         {             $this->keepaggregateroots($event);         }          public function postflush($event)         {             /** @var aggregateroot $entity */             vardumper::dump($this->entities);die();             foreach ($this->entities $entity) {                 foreach ($entity->releaseevents() $anevent) {                     $this->dispatcher->dispatch($anevent);                 }             }              $this->entities = array();         }          private function keepaggregateroots($event)         {             $entity = $event->getentity();             if (!($entity instanceof aggregateroot)) {                 return;             }              $this->entities[] = $entity;         }     } 

but when dumping captured entities on postflush vardumper::dump($this->entities);

im getting empty array result.

note: transactionitem extends aggregateroot payment not

but @ least im expecting transactionitem present.

does adding child relationships not include in doctrine events?

how manually tell doctrine transactionitem should present in postflush event?

edit: dumping inside postupdate not being called.

public function postupdate($event)     {         $this->keepaggregateroots($event);         vardumper::dump('inside postupdate');         vardumper::dump($this->entities);die();     }
