Workaround for doctrine generator in PSR-4 codebase

Question

With Symfony 2 & Doctrine on a Windows machine I'm trying to

1. generate entities from an existing schema:

   php app/console doctrine:mapping:import --force CoreBundle annotation

2. generate getters/setters on them:

   php app/console doctrine:generate:entities --path=/path/to/codebase/src/MyProject/CoreBundle/Entities CoreBundle

3. generate REST CRUD controllers on them using Voryx:

   php app/console voryx:generate:rest --entity="CoreBundle:User"

The first steps works fine and I can find the entities in my CoreBundle/Entity folder with the correct namespace:

MyVendor\MyProject\CoreBundle\Entity

Good so far. However, running the other 2 commands will fail:

[RuntimeException]
Can't find base path for "CoreBundle" (path: 
"\path\to\codebase\src\MyProject\CoreBundle", destination: 
"/path/to/codebase/src/MyProject/CoreBundle").  

The autoload in my composer.json looks like this:

"autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
        "MyVendor\\": "src/"
    }
},

I found out that Doctrine can't deal with PSR-4 namespaces, that's probably what makes it fail.

I would really like the entities to live in the PSR-4 CoreBundle though - is there a workaround for it?

I tried this, but it doesn't work, either:

"autoload": {
    "psr-0": {
        "MyVendor\\MyProject\\CoreBundle\\Entity": "src/MyProject/CoreBundle/Entity/"
    },
    "psr-4": {
        "MyVendor\\": "src/"
    }
},

Thank you.

User janvennemann on GitHub fixed Doctrine for PSR-4. You can find the patch on Gist, or linked here below

Step to fix it

1. mkdir -p app/VendorOverride;
2. cp vendor/doctrine/doctrine-bundle/Mapping/DisconnectedMetadataFactory.php app/VendorOverride/DisconnectedMetadataFactory.php;
3. apply the DisconnectedMetadataFactory patch;
4. add app/VendorOverride to the classmap section in composer.json;
5. run composer dump-autoload.

Then almost all scaffolding command works.

DisconnectedMetadataFactory PSR-4 patch

            return $psr4Paths[0];

    $search = str_replace('\\', '/', $path);
    $destination = str_replace('/'.$namespace, '', $search, $c);

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