Symfony 2.4.2 composer Migrations bundle - php

Question

I'm trying out Symfony but I'm running into some problems after I decided I wan't to test Migrations.
From the docs I learn I have to add this to the composer json.
"doctrine/doctrine-migrations-bundle": "dev-master",
So this is what I have now:
"require": {
"php": ">=5.3.3",
"symfony/symfony": "~2.4",
"doctrine/orm": "~2.2,>=2.2.3",
"doctrine/doctrine-bundle": "~1.2",
"doctrine/doctrine-migrations-bundle": "dev-master",
"twig/extensions": "~1.0",
"symfony/assetic-bundle": "~2.3",
"symfony/swiftmailer-bundle": "~2.3",
"symfony/monolog-bundle": "~2.4",
"sensio/distribution-bundle": "~2.3",
"sensio/framework-extra-bundle": "~3.0",
"sensio/generator-bundle": "~2.3",
"incenteev/composer-parameter-handler": "~2.0"
},
But this isn't working. It cannot find the right version.
This is the error:
Problem 1
- Installation request for doctrine/doctrine-migrations-bundle dev-master -> satisfiable by doctrine/doctrine-migrations-bundle[dev-master].
- doctrine/doctrine-migrations-bundle dev-master requires doctrine/migrations * -> no matching package found.
Potential causes:
- A typo in the package name
- The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting
see https://groups.google.com/d/topic/composer-dev/_g3ASeIFlrc/discussion for more details.
After this and a lot of googling (https://github.com/doctrine/DoctrineMigrationsBundle/issues/54) and trying I tried to set the version for "doctrine/doctrine-bundle": "~1.2", to require the aplha version. This did continue the installation but introduces a new problem.
After adding this line to the app kernel into the $bundles array:
new Doctrine\Bundle\MigrationsBundle\DoctrineMigrationsBundle(),
I try to run this in the terminal: php app/console doctrine:migrations:status
But it gives me the following error:
Fatal error: Class 'Doctrine\DBAL\Migrations\Tools\Console\Command\LatestCommand' not found in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/symfony/vendor/doctrine/doctrine-migrations-bundle/Doctrine/Bundle/MigrationsBundle/Command/MigrationsLatestDoctrineCommand.php on line 30
Right now I really don't know what I'm missing. I have no clue how to get this working. I hope someone can give me a push in the right direction! Thanks!

Answer 1

If you want to install the doctrine/doctrine-migrations-bundle you are also required to install doctrine/migrations. Based on your copy/paste of you composer.json, you forgot to add it.
Try with the following :
"require": {
"php": ">=5.3.3",
"symfony/symfony": "~2.4",
"doctrine/orm": "~2.2,>=2.2.3",
"doctrine/doctrine-bundle": "~1.2",
"doctrine/migrations" : "dev-master",
"doctrine/doctrine-migrations-bundle" : "dev-master",
"twig/extensions": "~1.0",
"symfony/assetic-bundle": "~2.3",
"symfony/swiftmailer-bundle": "~2.3",
"symfony/monolog-bundle": "~2.4",
"sensio/distribution-bundle": "~2.3",
"sensio/framework-extra-bundle": "~3.0",
"sensio/generator-bundle": "~2.3",
"incenteev/composer-parameter-handler": "~2.0"
},
You are getting this error :
Fatal error: Class 'Doctrine\DBAL\Migrations\Tools\Console\Command\LatestCommand' not found in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/symfony/vendor/doctrine/doctrine-migrations-bundle/Doctrine/Bundle/MigrationsBundle/Command/MigrationsLatestDoctrineCommand.php on line 30
because doctrine/migrations has not been downloaded and several classes are missing for the doctrine/doctrine-migrations-bundle.

Answer 2

You should check https://packagist.org/packages/doctrine/doctrine-migrations-bundle and try installing the latest version. Specifying more exact versions is better for overall stability as a composer update that gets the most up to date packages may have cause and effect on the stability of your application.
