Not a bug Command xf-dev:generate-schema-entity don't correctly generate default value of column

[inzanty]

Affected version

2.2.9

For example, we have column in entity, which haves default value with \XF::$time constant:

'creation_date'  => ['type' => self::UINT, 'default' => \XF::$time]

But in output we have column with default value 0:

// php cmd.php xf-dev:generate-schema-entity BCORE\eCommerce:ShopItemKey

$this->createTable('xf_bcore_ecommerce_shop_item_key', function (\XF\Db\Schema\Create $table)
{
        $table->addColumn('shop_item_key_id', 'int')->autoIncrement();
        $table->addColumn('shop_item_id', 'int');
        $table->addColumn('shop_item_key', 'text');
        $table->addColumn('user_id', 'int');
        $table->addColumn('creation_date', 'int')->setDefault(0);
});

Full entity:

public static function getStructure(Structure $structure): Structure
    {
        $structure = parent::getStructure($structure);

        $structure->table .= 'shop_item_key';
        $structure->shortName .= 'ShopItemKey';
        $structure->primaryKey = 'shop_item_key_id';
        $structure->columns = [
            'shop_item_key_id' => ['type' => self::UINT, 'autoIncrement' => true, 'nullable' => true],
            'shop_item_id'     => ['type' => self::UINT, 'required' => true],
            'shop_item_key'    => ['type' => self::STR, 'required' => true],
            'user_id'          => ['type' => self::UINT, 'required' => true],
            'creation_date'    => ['type' => self::UINT, 'default' => XF::$time]
        ];

        $structure->relations = [
            'Item' => [
                'entity'     => 'BCORE\eCommerce:ShopItem',
                'type'       => self::TO_ONE,
                'conditions' => 'shop_item_id',
                'primary'    => true
            ]
        ];

        return $structure;
    }

I mean that \XF::$time in _preSave() of entity, but code will work without ->setDefault(0) in setup, can command see that?

\XF::$time is a dynamic PHP variable, so it would be impossible to add its value to the MySQL schema. The only value that makes any sense here is 0.
