Symfony 4 : Namespace issue when generating entities with doctrine

votes

I'm currently using Symfony 4. I have written an entity with ORM and annotions

#src/Entity/User.php
<?php

namespace App\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * 
 * User
 * 
 * @ORM\Table(name="user")
 * @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="App\Repository\UserRepository")
 */
class User
{
    /**
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer")
     */
    private $id;

    /**
     * @ORM\Column(type="string", length=255, unique=true)
     */
    private $email;

    /**
     * @ORM\Column(type="string", length=255)
     */
    private $motdepasse;

    /**
     * @ORM\Column(type="string", length=255, unique=true)
     */
    private $username;

    /**
     * @ORM\Column(type="string", length=255)
     */
    private $nom;
...

I generate the entity using "php bin/console doctrine:generate:entities App\Entity\User". Unfortunately, it generates an entity in the php file "src/App/Entity/User.php" with the namespace "App\Entity". However the namespace should be "App\App\Entity" because of psr-4 rules. If I add a second "App", I get problems linked to repository and to console generations. If I let one "App", Symfony thinks the namespace is wrong. This is my service configuration : config/services.yml This is my doctrine configuration : config/packages/doctrine.yml

I've looked for the answers for 2 days everywhere (Documentation, tutorials, stackoverflow,...). Symfony 4 has really changed compared to Symfony 3. Thanks for the help. (Any link can help me)

In Symfony 4 use "bin/console make:entity User" Might need to install the new maker bundle with "composer require maker" And yes, lots of little changes in S4. – Cerad
See this github.com/doctrine/DoctrineBundle/issues/729 as I guess will answer your problem. – dlondero
Thanks Cerad, but unfortunaltely. I create my entity (the one w/ ORM annotation) with this command. – Salve Safari
Thanks dlondero. I'm going to follow what I found in this URL : create a symfony 3.3 installation doctrine:mapping:import from existing database copy and paste Entity files in my new symfony 4 project (after change "AppBundle" with "App" in each one) doctrine:schema:update --force in new symfony 4 project – Salve Safari
Makes sense if you need to use an existing database. If you're doing that just to have getters/setters created automagically you could just achieve that using a proper IDE. – dlondero

Composer also respects a memory limit defined by the COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT environment variable. You can set it to COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 and then run:

composer require doctrine maker

Check https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md#memory-limit-errors

I found the solution:

1) You must require doctrine maker through

composer require doctrine maker

2) You would like to create entities through this command below but make sure to achieve the 3rd and the 4th steps. Then go back here. Then you can go to the step #5

php bin/console make:entity YourEntity

3) Go to ' vendor/doctrine/doctrine-bundle/Mapping/DisconnecteMetadataFacroty.php' between the 150th and 170th lines. Then add the condition between the '///' slashes

#/vendor/doctrine/doctrine-bundle/mapping/disconnectedMetadataFactory.php

private function getBasePathForClass($name, $namespace, $path)
{
    $namespace = str_replace('\\', '/', $namespace);
    $search = str_replace('\\', '/', $path);
    $destination = str_replace('/'.$namespace, '', $search, $c);

    ///
    if ($namespace === 'App/Entity') {
        $destination = str_replace('/Entity', '', $search, $c);
    } else {
        $destination = str_replace('/'.$namespace, '', $search, $c);
    }
    ////


    if ($c != 1) {
        throw new \RuntimeException(sprintf('Can\'t find base path for "%s" (path: "%s", destination: "%s").', $name, $path, $destination));
    }

    return $destination;
}

4) Go to ' vendor/doctrine/orm/lib/Doctrine/ORM/Tools/EntityGenerator.php' between the 367th and 375th lines. Then replace the commented line by the two following ones.

#/vendor/doctrine/orm/lib/Doctrine/ORM/Tools/EntityGenerator.php

/*$path = $outputDirectory . '/' . str_replace('\\', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $metadata->name) . $this->extension;*/
    $metaNamePath = substr($metadata->name, 0, 4) === 'App\\' ? substr($metadata->name, 4) : $metadata->name;
    $path = $outputDirectory . '/' . str_replace('\\', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $metaNamePath) . $this->extension;

5) Here you are, you can generate the getters and the setters through

php bin/console doctrine:generate:entities App:YourEntity
