Question

I use symfony 1.4.11 , I have a project…
I have schema.yml , and I have migrations with tables which are not in the schema. For example I have in my db “pages” table, and it not described in schema. When I get project in first time I make: build --all --and-load --no-confirmation ; and I get my db,I think that it created some tables from Base classes, because there are many tables in my db, but they are not described in schema . So now I need add a few new fields to my page table, I make migration, and it is all ok, I have new fields in my db, but I do not have it in schema.yml, so when I make symfony doctrine:build --all-classes nothing happen it do not generate page class with new column. I do not understand, if it possible to generate new class or changes to class without schema? How people that make project before me , do this?
Thank you! And sorry for my bad English

Answer 1

it’s possible. Try to use the following command to clean you model files.

./symfony doctrine:clean-model-files

if you want to use migrations, you should not use doctrine:build –all –and-load –no-confirmation anymore. Migrations assume incremental updates. Dropping and building the DB every time is not good.
