[Serializer] Add support for discriminator map in property normalizer

ruudk · ruudk · commit f03696e9e278 · 2025-06-19T14:41:15.000+02:00
Fixes #60214 Currently it's not possible to serialize an object using the PropertyNormalizer when a DiscriminatorMap attribute is used. It produces the following error: > Symfony\Component\Serializer\Exception\NotNormalizableValueException: Type property "type" not found > for the abstract object "Symfony\Component\Serializer\Tests\Fixtures\DummyMessageInterface". The ObjectNormalizer overrides the `getAllowedAttributes` from AbstractNormalizer and adds support for discriminators. But the PropertyNormalizer does not do this. Therefore it doesn't work. For now, we copy the logic from ObjectNormalizer to PropertyNormalizer and the problem goes away.
