Symfony2 + Doctrine2 not updating in my database - php

Question

I have an api in symfony2, in which adding and deleting items is not issue, however, updating doesn't throw me any errors however the relevent row in my database does not get updated!
My Controller method:
/*
* #Route("/complete/uid/{storeUid}",
* name = "media_complete"
* )
*
* #Method({"GET"})
*
* #param String $storeUid - the uid for the store that has completed downloading
*
* #return Response
*/
public function downloadCompleteAction($storeUid)
{
$response = $this->getNewJsonResponse();
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$repo = $em->getRepository("SimplySmartUHDProBundle:Machine");
try {
//get the machine from the db
$machine = $repo->findOneBy(array(
"uid" => $storeUid
));
//set it as download completed
$machine->setStatus(Machine::STATUS_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE);
$em->persist($machine);
$em->flush();
$response->setStatusCode(200);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
//if there is an error, catch the exception set the status to 500 and return json with the exception error
$error = array("message" => $e->getMessage());
$response->setContent(json_encode($error));
$response->setStatusCode(500);
}
return $response;
}

I am fully aware that when updating an entity I shouldn't need to use $em->persist($machine), however removing this doesn't seem to make any difference.
The part that is really grinding my gears, is that when I go on the profiler, it appears as it is ran all the queries as expected!

Answer 1

Just realised that I've been a complete idiot and my issue is that status is set as a boolean field in my entity, so it was updating, but always setting it as 1!
