related entities not loaded?

My entity has a Many2One relationship

    /**
     * @var Industry
     *
     * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="Industry", fetch="EAGER")
     * @ORM\JoinColumns({
     *   @ORM\JoinColumn(name="IndustryId", referencedColumnName="Id")
     * })
     */
    private $industry;

But when requesting from this resource, the related entities are not fetched.

The results would only include:

  "industry": "/api/industries/1",

Instead of the whole entity.

I’m using the default configuration

eager_loading:
        # To enable or disable eager loading.
        enabled: true

        # Fetch only partial data according to serialization groups.
        # If enabled, Doctrine ORM entities will not work as expected if any of the other fields are used.
        fetch_partial: false

        # Max number of joined relations before EagerLoading throws a RuntimeException.
        max_joins: 30

        # Force join on every relation.
        # If disabled, it will only join relations having the EAGER fetch mode.
        force_eager: true

which makes the fetch="EAGER" annotation redundant, yet I added it to see if it made any difference.

I could only got to get the related entities by creating a serialization group and adding each of the properties on the related entity to that group. While it works, it seems a bit convoluted, and from what I gathered from documentation and configuration the relationships were going to be forced to be eager by API-Platform.

Am I missing something here?

@ismail1432 I believe they are looking for something similar to #284 I answered the OP’s question involving serializer groups on SO, if that provides some more context.

They were expecting api-platform to automatically embed all related entity association properties, with the force_eager=true option, assuming it to mean force_embed=true.

Yeah, I had completely misread the docs.  😨

Off I go to create many serialization groups to cover all the required possibilities.
