Binary strings break (dont)seeInRepository

[frankverhoeven]

Hi there,

If one of the parameters passed to (dont)seeInRepository() is a binary string, the json_encode call in Doctrine2::proceedSeeInRepository() fails. This results in the following exception: [JsonException] Malformed UTF-8 characters, possibly incorrectly encoded.

Little bit of context. We store UUIDs in a BINARY(16) column. When querying, we select by the binary representation of the UUID .

This was changed in #47, when JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR was added to the json_encode call. Before it would fail silently and return false.

I think that we could avoid JSON altogether and show DQL instead of encoded parameters.

module-doctrine2/src/Codeception/Module/Doctrine2.php

Lines 870 to 873 in afcf8f4

	$this->debug($qb->getDQL());
	$res = $qb->getQuery()->getArrayResult();
	return ['True', (count($res) > 0), "$entity with " . json_encode($params, JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR)];

Could you test it and raise pull request if it works?

Sure, I'll have a look at it 🙂
