Adding property to Symfony BaseModel - php

Question

I have the below symfony model and I need to add a name property (see below) to the existing model and then update the database accordingly. What is the proper way to accomplish this? I appreciate any suggestions.
I tried running php bin/console doctrine:database:drop and then php bin/console doctrine:database:create, hoping it'll make the necessary mappings, without any success, I am getting the following error: You have requested a non-existent service "doctrine".
This seems to be overly complicated and I am sure theres a simpler way to accomplish this. I appreciate any suggestions.

It looks like Doctrine is not fully configured in your application. This is likely also why the service can not be found.
Please make sure that inside your AppKernel.php the DoctrineBundle is registered (search for new Doctrine\Bundle\DoctrineBundle\DoctrineBundle()).
Next you will need the doctrine configuration. You can check the repository if you need a reference configuration:
# Doctrine Configuration
doctrine:
dbal:
driver: pdo_mysql
host: "%database_host%"
port: "%database_port%"
dbname: "%database_name%"
user: "%database_user%"
password: "%database_password%"
charset: UTF8
# if using pdo_sqlite as your database driver:
# 1. add the path in parameters.yml
# e.g. database_path: "%kernel.root_dir%/data/data.db3"
# 2. Uncomment database_path in parameters.yml.dist
# 3. Uncomment next line:
# path: "%database_path%"
orm:
auto_generate_proxy_classes: "%kernel.debug%"
naming_strategy: doctrine.orm.naming_strategy.underscore
auto_mapping: true
Also make sure, that your parameters.yml and parameters.yml.dist contain the values needed by the configuration. Again you can take the file from the official repository as a reference.
