The class 'Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager' was not found in the chain configured namespaces XXX

Question

I have read the the other questions concerning this issue but have not come across a solution as of yet.

I get the following error message:

The class 'Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager' was not found in the chain configured >namespaces ZfcUser\Entity, Common\Entity, Employment\Entity, Intern\Entity, >Team\Entity, PurchaseRequest\Entity.

I have a HolidayEntity, HolidayController, HolidayService.

Adding a holiday works, but when I try to remove a holiday the error pops up. I pass the holiday id from to controller to the service, which then fetches the associated object and runs the doctrine 2 removeEntity command.

I am unsure as to how to tackle the problem at the moment.

Controller code:

public function deleteAction()
{
    $holidayId = $this->params()->fromRoute('id', 0);
    try {  
        $this->getServiceLocator()->get('holidayService')->removeHoliday($holidayId);
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        $this->flashMessenger()->addErrorMessage($e->getMessage() . '<br>' . $e->getTraceAsString());
    }
    return $this->redirect()->toRoute('holiday/list');
}

Service Code:

public function removeHoliday($holidayId)
{
    try{
    $holiday = $this->findOneHolidayById($holidayId);
    $this->removeEntity($holiday);
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        var_dump($e);
    }
}

protected function removeEntity($entity)
{
    $this->getEntityManager()->remove($entity);
    $this->getEntityManager()->flush();
}

The code breaks in the "$this->getEntityManager()->remove($entity)" method.

Answer 1

The error you are getting relates to Doctrine not being able to find an Entity called Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager, which is clearly wrong.

My guess is that somewhere (perhaps in the getEntityManager() method) you are passing an instance of the entity manager to the entity manager.

For example

$entityManager = new EntityManager();
$entity = new EntityManager();
$entityManager->remove($entity);
