If the TraceableSerializer runs from a callable in an array_map, then the caller looses the file and the line because it was invoked. This causes a hard fail since the required items are not defined. The error is the following:

TraceableSerializer.php line 174:
Warning: Undefined array key "file".

The fix is to get the file and the line from the following array item which always is the caller class.

Hey!

I see that this is your first PR. That is great! Welcome!

Symfony has a contribution guide which I suggest you to read.

In short:

  • Always add tests
  • Keep backward compatibility (see https://symfony.com/bc).
  • Bug fixes must be submitted against the lowest maintained branch where they apply (see https://symfony.com/releases)
  • Features and deprecations must be submitted against the 7.4 branch.

Review the GitHub status checks of your pull request and try to solve the reported issues. If some tests are failing, try to see if they are failing because of this change.

When two Symfony core team members approve this change, it will be merged and you will become an official Symfony contributor!
If this PR is merged in a lower version branch, it will be merged up to all maintained branches within a few days.

I am going to sit back now and wait for the reviews.

Cheers!

Carsonbot

@mtarld Since you enabled this serializer in Symfony 7.3 #60069, we noticed this problem. Could you have a look at my suggested solution. Thanks 🙌

$collector = new SerializerDataCollector();
$traceableSerializer = new TraceableSerializer($serializer, $collector);

array_map([$traceableSerializer, 'normalize'], ['data']);

When using array_map with a callable like above or a native first class callable like $traceableSerializer->normalize(...) the problem occurs. Somehow PHP does not provide a file and line for that location when using debug_backtrace.

This is an example of the trace (that is called somewhere else), but to show what is happening:
