Symfony2 - DoctrineMongoDBBundle - Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationException

Question

I'm trying to use the DoctrineMongoDBBundle, however, i'm running into an issue.

In my config.yml, I have:

doctrine_mongodb:
    connections:
        default:
            server: mongodb://localhost:27017
            options:
                connect: true
    default_database: symfony2
    document_managers:
        default:
            auto_mapping: true

My User.php class:

<?php
namespace HALL\HelloWorldBundle\Document;
use FOS\UserBundle\Document\User as BaseUser;
use Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\Mapping\Annotations as MongoDB;

/**
 * @MongoDB\Document
 */
class User extends BaseUser
{
    /** @MongoDB\Id(strategy="auto") */
    protected $id;

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        // your own logic
    }
}

When I run the command:

 php app/console doctrine:mongodb:generate:documents HALLHelloWorldBundle

I get the following error:

[Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationException]
[Semantical Error] The annotation "@Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\Mapping\Annotations\Document" in class HALL\HelloWorldBundle\Document\User does not exist, or could not be auto-loaded.

Any ideas why? The annotation is clearly referenced.

Answer 1

Registering the annotations as in Jamie's solution did not work for me. It solved this problem but meant that the annotations object could not be unserialized from the cache . Registering the annotations like this:

AnnotationRegistry::registerFile(__DIR__.'/../vendor/doctrine-mongodb-odm/lib/Doctrine/ODM/MongoDB/Mapping/Annotations/DoctrineAnnotations.php');

Meant that the original issue was resolved without introducing the issue relating to the cache.
