Doctrine doesn't generate inherited-class's properties - php

Question

I have one abstract MappedSuperClass and another class called "User" which is a child of this MappedSuperClass. The problem is that doctrine doesn't generate the User class's properties. Only the MappedSuperClass's properties. Why?
<?php
namespace IsCoconut\Models;
use DateTime;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Column;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\GeneratedValue;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Id;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\MappedSuperclass;
/** #MappedSuperclass */
abstract class BaseEntity
{
/**
* #var int
* #Id
* #Column(type="integer")
* #GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
*/
protected $id;
/** #Column(type="boolean")
* #var boolean
*/
protected $deleted = false;
/** #Column(name="creation_date_time", type="datetime")
* #var DateTime
*/
protected $creationDateTime;
protected function __construct()
{
$this->creationDateTime = new DateTime();
}
}
And this is my Entity which should be generated in database by Doctrine
<?php
namespace IsCoconut\Models;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Table;
/**
* #Entity
* #Table(name="users")
*/
class User extends BaseEntity
{
/**
* #var string
* #ORM\Column(type="string", length=512)
*/
private $forename;
/**
* #var string
* #ORM\Column(type="string", length=512)
*/
private $surname;
/**
* #var string
* #ORM\Column(type="string", length=512, unique=true, nullable=false)
*/
private $email;
/**
* #var string
* #ORM\Column(type="string", length=512, unique=true, nullable=false)
*/
private $passwordHash;
}
This is output of doctrine orm:schema-tool:create --dump-sql
CREATE TABLE users (id INT NOT NULL, deleted BOOLEAN NOT NULL, creation_date_time TIMESTAMP(0) WITHOUT TIME ZONE NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(id));
CREATE SEQUENCE users_id_seq INCREMENT BY 1 MINVALUE 1 START 1;
The User's class entity properties are missing! Why?

Answer 1

Try this
* #ORM\Entity
* #ORM\Table(name="User")

Answer 2

Actually, this might be the solution:
change:
abstract class BaseEntity
to:
class BaseEntity
See if that works. It might not, please try it.

Answer 3

When I removed all #ORM\ prefixes, it works now

Answer 4

I had the same problem, and found it was due to properties set as private.
/**
* #ORM\MappedSuperclass
*/
class BaseClass
{
/**
* #var string
* #ORM\Column(type="string", length=250, nullable=false)
*/
protected $channel;
//private $channel;
}

Answer 5

The mapping on your abstract class should be * #ORM\MappedSuperclass not /** #MappedSuperclass */. The mapping is done by Doctrine so the ORM annotation is important here.
You also need to ensure your properties in your abstract class are protected (which you already said they were)
