Symfony2 and Doctrine entity undefined method - php

Question

I have this same issue as here The method name must start with either findBy or findOneBy. Undefined method Symfony? but the answers don't help.
When I run my code
<?php
namespace Map\ViewBundle\Controller;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Map\ViewBundle\Entity\Markers;
class DefaultController extends Controller
{
public function getMarkersAction()
{
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$em->getRepository('MapViewBundle:Markers')
->findAllMarkers();
}
//...
}
I get exception
Undefined method 'findAllMarkers'. The method name must start with
either findBy or findOneBy!
this is my MarkersRepository file (located in Entity directory)
<?php
namespace Map\ViewBundle\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository;
class MarkersRepository extends EntityRepository
{
public function findAllMarkers() {
//this query will be different
return $this->getEntityManager()
->createQuery(
'SELECT m FROM MapViewBundle:Markers m'
)
->getResult();
}
}
and this is Markers entity class (located in Entity directory as well)
<?php
namespace Map\ViewBundle\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
/**

I tried clear cache and use command
php app/console doctrine:generate:entities Map
but still exception is throw. Anybody see whats wrong with my code?
Solution
Removing files: Markers.orm.yml and Tags.orm.yml from Map\ViewBundle\Resources\config\doctrine directory is the solution.

Answer 1

Start by verifying that you are not getting the correct repository.
$repo = $em->getRepository('MapViewBundle:Markers')
die('Repo Class ' . get_class($repo));
If you do happen to get the correct class then you have a typo.
And make sure you don't have any doctrine/markers.orm.yml or xml files hanging around.
Finally, update your question with the doctrine section in app/config/config.yml

Answer 2

This may sound weird but I encountered a similar issue with a custom repository function.
Try renaming your Repository function to getAllMarkers() and update the call in the controller and try again. This solved the issue for me on that occasion.
