Symfony make:entity annotation mapping error

I want to create a new entity in my ORO platform application by using the make:entity command from the MakerBundle.

I expect it to create an entity in my bundle Acme\Bundle\TestBundle which I set in my config_dev.yml by using:

maker:
    root_namespace: 'Acme\Bundle\TestBundle'

So I execute 

bin/console make:entity Test

which returns

 ! [NOTE] It looks like your app may be using a namespace other than "Acme\Bundle\TestBundle".                 
 !

 [ERROR] Only annotation mapping is supported by make:entity, but the                                                   
         <info>Acme\Bundle\TestBundle\Entity\Test</info> class uses a different format. If you would like   
         this command to generate the properties & getter/setter methods, add your mapping configuration, and then      
         re-run this command with the <info>--regenerate</info> flag.

I've tried to run the command once again, which works. But obviously this is not the way how it's meant to work. So how can I fix this mapping error?

Solution

  • I started with the standard Symfony 5 project by using Symfony new myapp.

    I add the config file in config/packages/dev/maker.yaml

    maker:
    root_namespace: 'App\Core'

    To generate the entity in the src/Core folder, I got the following error:

    ➜ symfony console make:entity Post

 created: src/Core/Entity/Post.php
 created: src/Core/Repository/PostRepository.php


 [ERROR] Only annotation mapping is supported by make:entity, but the <info>App\Core\Entity\Post</info> class uses
         a different format. If you would like this command to generate the properties & getter/setter methods, add your
         mapping configuration, and then re-run this command with the <info>--regenerate</info> flag.

    To avoid showing the error in the console, I install the patch created by vklux / maker-bundle-force-annotation

    Step 1: install package

    composer require cweagans/composer-patches

    Step 2: apply the patch in composer.json

    {
    // {...} composer.json content
    "extra": {
        "patches": {
            "symfony/maker-bundle": {
                "Provide flag to force annotation in make entity command": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vklux/maker-bundle-force-annotation/master/maker-force-annotation-flag.patch"
            }
        }
    }
}

    Step 3: composer update

    composer update

    Step 4: try make:entity with the additional command option

    ➜ symfony console make:entity Post --force-annotation

 created: src/Core/Entity/Post.php
 created: src/Core/Repository/PostRepository.php

 Entity generated! Now let's add some fields!
 You can always add more fields later manually or by re-running this command.

 New property name (press <return> to stop adding fields):
 >

    ✅ 🚀 👍 Everything works fine now.
