Doctrine annotation auto-load

[sighin]

Hi

 

I got the error, of which phrase msg I put into google as following:

 

"[Semantical Error] The annotation "@Doctrine\ODM\PHPCR\Mapping\Annotations\NodeName" in property does not exist, or could not be auto-loaded."

 

for which 2nd result (for me) directed me at this PDF, page 55:

 

http://pl.scribd.com/doc/166033629/Symfony-Cmf-Master#scribd

 

Yes, this fix worked after modifying app/autoload.php. I wonder why this happens that Annotations aren't auto-loaded?

 

Thx, cheers

hi sighin,

glad you managed to find the solution.

this is documented in the setup instructions of phpcr-odm and if you
start with the symfony-cmf/standard-edition or sandbox, it will already
be present.

did you follow some tutorial that forgets to mention this step? if so
please point us to it so we can fix it.

i think there is no easy solution to better report what is going wrong -
its the annotation system which knows nothing about phpcr-odm specifically.

cheers,david

Hi David,

 

Thx for reply!

 

This is kind of surprising that phpcr-odm needs this extra setting. What's more surprising, it's only my linux server which requires such a setting; on my dev environment (which is on Windows) this all stuff works very well. Actually, it's for the first time for me as far as I remember that sth having to do with PHP works on Windows but not Linux out of the box.

 

I saw no other SF bundles or components requiring a need for editing app/autoload.php, but from what you're saying it seems to be ok with this setting always. I also checked on my Windows dev env this setting - it seems to not harm (but not change as well) anything - or am I incorrect here?

 

For the last part of documentation, well... I'm using SF-CMF stuff for quite a long time, particularly for this app. I followed many tutorials, from the SF website included. But I think it wasn't mentioned on the SF website to edit this file.

 

cheers

Assuming we are talking about the PHPCR-ODM specific registration with
the AnnotationRegistry. Do we actually really need it?

https://github.com/symfony-cmf/symfony-cmf-standard/blob/master/app/autoload.php#L22

The Routing Auto tutorial ommits it completely and always has. I think
it is a legacy thing, perhaps from when the AnnotationLoader did not use
the autoloader.

p.s. I just removed the line from my website and that is working fine.

afaik you need things when using annotations. though maybe when they are
place in the right path for namespace it just happens to work with a new
enough autoloader.

symfony-standard (not the cmf one) still carries the line
AnnotationRegistry::registerLoader(array($loader, 'loadClass'));
https://github.com/symfony/symfony-standard/blob/2.8/app/autoload.php
so i assume doctrine orm still needs that?

indeed i don't find any reference to do more than that in our
documentation, which indicates there is at least some omission.
the phpcr-odm documentation however mentions the need for registering:
http://docs.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-phpcr-odm/en/latest/reference/installation-configuration.html#annotation-mapping-driver

phpcr-odm tests do the autoloading:
https://github.com/doctrine/phpcr-odm/blob/master/tests/bootstrap.php

as does the testing component we use for DoctrinePHPCRBundle:
https://github.com/symfony-cmf/Testing/blob/master/bootstrap/bootstrap.php#L30

we should try to find out which parts of this are needed for annotation
mapping and which are legacy. and then document the parts that are required.

sighin, if you want to help us with this, can you try a pull request on
phpcr-odm to remove things from the autoloading that seem unneeded? then
we can see if tests still succeed or not.

cheers,david
