Doctrinebundle: Can't generate Repository file by existing Entity

[scourgen]

Hym/WebBundle/Entity/Company.php

<?php

namespace Hym\WebBundle\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="Hym\WebBundle\Repository\CompanyRepository")
 */
class Company {
//.....................

I run this command:

php app/console doctrine:generate:entities HymWebBundle

Then I get:

Generating entities for bundle "HymWebBundle"
  > backing up Company.php to Company.php~
  > generating Hym\WebBundle\Entity\Company

Repository file has not been generated.

So I did some check on
vendor/doctrine/doctrine-bundle/Doctrine/Bundle/DoctrineBundle/Command/GenerateEntitiesDoctrineCommand.php

var_dump($m->customRepositoryClassName);
var_dump($metadata->getNamespace());
var_dump(false !== strpos($m->customRepositoryClassName, $metadata->getNamespace()));
if ($m->customRepositoryClassName && false !== strpos($m->customRepositoryClassName, $metadata->getNamespace())) {
  $repoGenerator->writeEntityRepositoryClass($m->customRepositoryClassName, $metadata->getPath());
}   

and run again,I got this:

Generating entity "Hym\WebBundle\Entity\Company"
  > backing up Company.php to Company.php~
  > generating Hym\WebBundle\Entity\Company
string(42) "Hym\WebBundle\Repository\CompanyRepository"
string(20) "Hym\WebBundle\Entity"
bool(false)

Obviously "false !== strpos($m->customRepositoryClassName, $metadata->getNamespace())" will be false.
and the function writeEntityRepositoryClass will not be running.

I thought That may a bug ?

I have the same issue, Is there any update on this issue. How to resolve

[tkostantinov]

It seems that doctrine demands that the repository class is in the entity directory...

quick fix is to ommit the false !== repository_class_is_in_the_entity_directory condition

[qloog]

so, result is?

[dummywebdemo]

select HymWebBundle\Repository\CompanyRepository then press alt+enter choose create doctrine repository class

you will find CompanyRepository.php file created either in entity folder or repository folder based upon your configuration.

Closing as this seems fixed since quite a while

[xxorax]

Not working on Symfony 3.3 and 3.4: repository classes are not created by app/console doctrine:generate:entities.
And orm:generate-repositories command is not available...

[mikeSimonson]

The functionality was moved in the makerBundle I think.

IMHo this issue should be reopened

When I generated entities with
php bin/console doctrine:mapping:import 'App\Entity' annotation --path=src/Entity

all of them are generated with an empty Entity annotation like this:

<?php

namespace App\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
/**
 * MyTable
 *
 * @ORM\Table(name="my_table")
 * @ORM\Entity()
 */
class MyTable
// ...

Then when I use the maker (php bin/console make:entity --regenerate App), of course it won't generate the Repository class because there is any specified. The expected imported entity should look like this:

<?php

namespace App\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
/**
 * MyTable
 *
 * @ORM\Table(name="my_table")
 * @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="App\Repository\MyTableRepository")
 */
class MyTable
// ...

Conclusion, the doctrine import command should have an option to add the repositoryClass.
I suggest to add the --with-repositories, --repository-namespace, --repository-suffix options.
