Symfony2 Error in generated entity and timezone error in console

Question

I tried the recently released generators yesterday but I came across a problem. I was properly able to create database & entities. But as soon as I tried to create schema it started showing error like:

php app/console doctrine:schema:create

  [Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationException]                                                    
  [Semantical Error] The annotation "@Table" in class Acme\BlogBundle\Entity\Post was never imported.  

doctrine:schema:create [--dump-sql] [--em[="..."]]

I finally found the problem, it was that the generated entity had annotations like:

/**
* Acme\BlogBundle\Entity\Post
*
* @Table()
* @Entity
*/

instead of:

/**
* Acme\BlogBundle\Entity\Post
*
* @ORM\Table(name="post")
* @ORM\Entity
*/

I had to add the table name in the @Table annotation and ORM\ manually to all the annotations.

Now the error has changed:

php app/console doctrine:schema:create
ATTENTION: This operation should not be executed in a production environment.

Creating database schema...

[Exception] DateTime::__construct(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Asia/Calcutta' for 'IST/5.0/no DST' instead.

doctrine:schema:create [--dump-sql] [--em[="..."]]

How can I fix the timezone error.

and I saw the Symfony Interactive Generators video, the entity is generated by default with @ORM\ . Only the table name was for manual addition. Why did my distribution generate it with incorrect annotations.

This is a PHP issue in your config set your timezone

date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');

There is usually a separate php.ini file for the console.

Run php -i | grep "Configuration File" this will tell you where the ini file for the console located. Add or edit the timezone in that file: date.timezone = my/timezone.

Or you could add date_default_timezone_set() to the top of app/AppKernel.php.
