Symfony version(s) affected

7.1.x

Description

If the context FILTER_BOOL is used alone, we may experience a NotNormalizableValueException exception like this:

The type of the "booleanProperty" attribute for class "App\MyDTO" must be one of "bool" ("string" given).

Adding DISABLE_TYPE_ENFORCEMENT context solves the issue but is counter intuitive.

How to reproduce

Here is the code I use:

$this->serializer->deserialize($binaryExcelFile, MyDTO::class . '[]', ExcelEncoder::FORMAT);

use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Annotation as Serializer;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\AbstractNormalizer;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\AbstractObjectNormalizer;

class MyDTO
{
    #[Serializer\Context([AbstractNormalizer::FILTER_BOOL => true, AbstractObjectNormalizer::DISABLE_TYPE_ENFORCEMENT => true])]
    public bool $booleanProperty;
}

I use a custom ExcelEncoder.

Possible Solution

With FILTER_BOOLalone, it fails in Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\AbstractObjectNormalizer::validateAndDenormalize, before Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\AbstractNormalizer::applyFilterBool is applied

Maybe the applyFilterBool should be called sooner?
