Question

Good Day,

I’m having few issues with Doctrine entities generator while creating new project in Symfony 2 framework.

For testing purposes, I have following table called users:
id INT PK

username VARCHAR(80)
password VARCHAR(150)
salt VARCHAR(100)
email VARCHAR(100)

I created new project with no problem. I called my new bundle MyTestBundle.

After completing database design, I use php app/console doctrine:mapping:convert yml ./src/My/TestBundle/Resources/config/doctrine/metadata/orm --from-database --force to map database schema to Yaml format files. Then I use php app/console doctrine:mapping:import MyTestBundle annotation and php app/console doctrine:generate:entities MyTestBundle to import mapping and generate entities.

I have few important questions regarding entities generation:

1. Why does it creates entity called Users instead of User? When I try to modify yml files located in ./src/My/TestBundle/Resources/config/doctrine/metadata/orm the generator seems to ignore them. Any tips?

2. I need to implement my custom role provider. That’s why I created two additional tables for roles storage (simplified schema below):
   roles: id INT PK, name VARCHAR(50)
users_roles: id INT PK, user_id INT, role_id INT
   Why generator is ignoring this relation? It creates correct relations in UsersRoles class, but not in Roles or Users entities. Am I missing something?

Any help/explanation will be very appreciated.

Edit
I have noticed really weird thing:
I created simple Yaml schema and put it in ./src/MyTestBundle/resources/config/doctrine/metadata/orm, I called this file User.orm.yml. Now, when I try to import mapping or generate entities I get following error Bundle "MyTestBundle" does not contain any mapped entities.

Warmest greetings,
Dave
