Question

In my symfony 2 project I have a bundle at

src/Cinergy/Bundle/PeopleServiceBundle

Now I’d like to generate a CRUD controller based on a doctrine entity, but I’m constantly failing to enter the correct string for the entity parameter.

I tried things like:

php app/console generate:doctrine:crud --entity=Cinergy/Bundle/PeopleServiceBundle:Group

or

php app/console generate:doctrine:crud --entity=@PeopleServiceBundle:Group

All of them return erros like:

[Doctrine\ORM\ORMException]                             
Unknown Entity namespace alias '@PeopleServiceBundle'.

What’s the right syntax for the --entity parameter? Or is there something missing after all?

This is how the directory structure looks right now:

src/Cinergy/Bundle/PeopleServiceBundle/
├── Controller
│   ├── GroupController.php
│   └── PersonController.php
├── DependencyInjection
│   ├── Configuration.php
│   └── PeopleServiceExtension.php
├── PeopleServiceBundle.php
├── Resources

└── Tests
    └── Controller
        ├── GroupControllerTest.php
        └── PersonControllerTest.php

Answer 1

After all it turned out that I have to create the entity before I can create the CRUD controller for it. Of course that makes sense. Unfortunately the Sensio Generator Bundle documentation does list the operations in the oposite order which pushed me into the wrong direction.

This means the correct order ist

1. Generating a New Bundle Skeleton
2. Generating a New Doctrine Entity Stub
3. Generating a CRUD Controller Based on a Doctrine Entity
