Why my symfony entity is not managed? - php

Question

I have a Portfolio entity which is working well to create or update but I can't delete it. Symfony throws this error:
Entity matthieu-appriou is not managed. An entity is managed if its
fetched from the database or registered as new through
EntityManager#persist
Here is my entity:

And here is the code sample I use to reproduce this error:
<?php
// namespace and use ...
/**
* Tool controller.
*
* #Route("/admin/test")
*/
class TestController extends Controller
{
/**
*
* #Route("/testTwo", name="testTwo")
* #Method({"GET", "POST"})
*/
public function indexTwoAction(Request $request)
{
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$pr = $this->get('creasenso.portfolio_repo');
$p = $pr->find(32);
$em->remove($p);
$em->flush();
return new Response("<html><head></head><body><hr />Done</body></html>");
}
}
Here is the repository linked to this entity:
<?php
namespace CreasensoBundle\Repository;
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository;
/**
* PortfolioRepository
*
* This class was generated by the Doctrine ORM. Add your own custom
* repository methods below.
*/
class PortfolioRepository extends EntityRepository
{
protected $qb;
public function init()
{
$this->qb = $this->createQueryBuilder('p');
}
public function isVisible()
{
$this->qb
->andWhere('p.visible = :visible')
->setParameter(':visible', 1);
}
public function getAllPublicPortfolioCount()
{
$this->init();
$this->isVisible();
$this->qb->select('COUNT(p)');
return $this->qb->getQuery()->getSingleScalarResult();
}
public function getQueryBuilder()
{
return $this->qb;
}
}
Do you have any clue about this behavior? Thank you very much.

Answer 1

You are getting your repository directly from the service container when you should be getting it from your EntityManager through getRepository().
You are not loading your entity from the entityManager that you flush so it is not managed
