Symfony version(s) affected

7.2.X

Description

When attempting to denormalize an array of data into a readonly object using the PropertyNormalizer within a Serializer, a \TypeError exception is thrown.
Given that the following flags are set in the context:

DenormalizerInterface::COLLECT_DENORMALIZATION_ERRORS => true,
AbstractObjectNormalizer::DISABLE_TYPE_ENFORCEMENT => true,

I would have expected a PartialDenormalizationException instead. Is this the intended behavior?

How to reproduce

I made a small boilerplate to reproduce the bug HERE

Possible Solution

To address the issue, we should wrap the code in a try/catch block that catches the \TypeError and rethrows it as an InvalidTypeException.

In my REPRODUCER, I added two tests to demonstrate the fix: one is a temporary workaround that I'm currently using, and the other represents the solution I believe should be the definitive fix.

Additional Context

I'm currently using

• PHP: 8.4.4;
• symfony/normalizer: 7.2;

I use the flags

• DenormalizerInterface::COLLECT_DENORMALIZATION_ERRORS => true
• AbstractObjectNormalizer::DISABLE_TYPE_ENFORCEMENT => true
