@JMS\VirtualProperty not working when using @JMS\Groups

[lukepass]

Hello, I noticed a bug today: when looking at the API documentation if I have a model with @JMS\VirtualProperty and @JMS\Groups the virtual property is not correctly displayed in the documentation.

The property is correctly serialized when calling the web service, the problem is just in the documentation:

/**
 * Returns the posting user.
 *
 * @JMS\VirtualProperty
 * @JMS\Type("AppBundle\Entity\User")
 * @JMS\Groups({"homepage"})
 * @JMS\Expose
 */
public function getUser()
{
    return $this->challengeEntry->getUser();
}

Thanks!

@lukepass can you please explain in detail what it means "the virtual property is not correctly displayed in the documentation"?

Hello @goetas! I mean that the property is not shown in the "preview" below the Description section for the responses. Here:

Thanks!

Did you specify in the controller @Model(type=User::class, groups={"homepage"}) ?

In my controller I am setting the view correctly but as I said the controller's output is correct, the property is serialized. It's just the documentation that isn't updated with the value.

I am not able to reproduce this issue, could you give us some more details about your controller and your entity ?
A small reproducer would also help if you have some time to create one :)

I dunno if this issue is related, but im having issues when using
#[JMS\VirtualProperty(name: 'someProperty', exp: '....', options: [[JMS\Groups::class, [['somegroup']]]])]
on class, while JMS serializes everything properly, nelmio just does not respect this syntax for groups.
