Doctrine 2 - problems with "Getting Started XML-Edition" - generating database schema - php

Question

Having never touched Doctrine before (either 1 or 2), I am following this tutorial for Doctrine 2.
I'm at the point where I use the command line to generate the database schema. This is the cli-config.php file, as per the tutorial:
<?php
$cliConfig = new Doctrine\Common\Cli\Configuration();
$cliConfig->setAttribute('em', $entityManager);
When I run it though, I just get an error:
Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'Doctrine\Common\Cli\Configuration.php'
Because that class referenced by the cli-config.php file doesn't exist. I've also tried blanking the cli-config.php file, which of course doesn't work either - says that "The helper "em" is not defined."
I'm using version 2.0.0BETA3. I know that this is a beta version, so they could have changed some files around, but I can't find that class anywhere.
Any ideas on how to get it working?

Answer 1

The docs in the XML Getting Started are outdated in this regard. Please see the Tools section in the manual on how to configure the CLI Tool:
http://docs.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/2.0.x/reference/tools.html
All the rest still works as described. I will update this part asap.

Assuming you installed Doctrine using pear
$ sudo pear install pear.doctrine-project.org/doctrineORM
which will install the three 'Doctrine 2' packages: DoctrineCommon, DoctrineDBAL, and DoctrineORM. On Ubuntu, these packages will be located in /usr/share/php/Doctrine, and the doctrine command line utility, will be installed into /usr/bin.
With this setup, this is a version of cli-config.php you can use (note: DIR should have two underscores before and after it. For some reason they didn't display).
<?php
require ‘Doctrine/ORM/Tools/Setup.php’;
// Setup Autoloader (1)
Doctrine\ORM\Tools\Setup::registerAutoloadPEAR();
require_once 'Doctrine/Common/ClassLoader.php';
$classLoader = new Doctrine\Common\ClassLoader('Entities', __DIR__);
$classLoader->register();
$classLoader = new Doctrine\Common\ClassLoader('Proxies', __DIR__);
$classLoader->register();
$config = new \Doctrine\ORM\Configuration();
$config->setMetadataCacheImpl(new \Doctrine\Common\Cache\ArrayCache);
$driverImpl = $config->newDefaultAnnotationDriver(array(__DIR__."/Entities"));
$config->setMetadataDriverImpl($driverImpl);
$config->setProxyDir(__DIR__ . '/Proxies');
$config->setProxyNamespace('Proxies');
$connectionOptions = array(
'driver' => 'pdo_mysql',
'dbname' => 'bugs',
'user' => 'bugs',
'password' => 'xyzabc',
'host' => 'localhost' );
$em = \Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager::create($connectionOptions, $config);
$helperSet = new \Symfony\Component\Console\Helper\HelperSet(array(
'db' => new \Doctrine\DBAL\Tools\Console\Helper\ConnectionHelper($em->getConnection()),
'em' => new \Doctrine\ORM\Tools\Console\Helper\EntityManagerHelper($em)
));
