Unknown Entity namespace alias in symfony2

Question

Hey I have two bundles in my symfony2 project. one is Bundle and the other one is PatentBundle.

My app/config/route.yml file is

MunichInnovationGroupPatentBundle:
resource: "@MunichInnovationGroupPatentBundle/Controller/"
type:     annotation
prefix:   /
defaults:  { _controller: "MunichInnovationGroupPatentBundle:Default:index" }

MunichInnovationGroupBundle:
resource: "@MunichInnovationGroupBundle/Controller/"
type:     annotation
prefix:   /v1
defaults:  { _controller: "MunichInnovationGroupBundle:Patent:index" }

login_check:
pattern:   /login_check

logout:
pattern:   /logout

inside my controller i have

<?php
namespace MunichInnovationGroup\PatentBundle\Controller;

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use JMS\SecurityExtraPatentBundle\Annotation\Secure;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Exception\AccessDeniedException;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Method;
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Template;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\SecurityContext;

use MunichInnovationGroup\PatentBundle\Entity\Log;
use MunichInnovationGroup\PatentBundle\Entity\UserPatent;
use MunichInnovationGroup\PatentBundle\Entity\PmPortfolios;
use MunichInnovationGroup\PatentBundle\Entity\UmUsers;
use MunichInnovationGroup\PatentBundle\Entity\PmPatentgroups;
use MunichInnovationGroup\PatentBundle\Form\PortfolioType;
use MunichInnovationGroup\PatentBundle\Util\SecurityHelper;
use Exception;
/**
 * Portfolio controller.
 * @Route("/portfolio")
 */
class PortfolioController extends Controller {
/**
 * Index action.
 *
 * @Route("/", name="v2_pm_portfolio")
 * @Template("MunichInnovationGroupPatentBundle:Portfolio:index.html.twig")
 */
   public function indexAction(Request $request) {
    $portfolios = $this->getDoctrine()
    ->getRepository('MunichInnovationGroupPatentBundle:PmPortfolios')
    ->findBy(array('user' => '$user_id'));

           // rest of the method
  }

when i try to load localhost/web/app_dev.php/portfolio

It says

   Unknown Entity namespace alias 'MunichInnovationGroupPatentBundle'.

I am unable to figure out this error please help me if anyone has any idea I googled it a lot :(

Thanks in advance 500 Internal Server Error - ORMException

Try to check your PmPortfolios entity, if the namespace is correct. — Teo.sk, Jun 17 '12 at 08:14

Please, check your config.yml.

Reviewed in section mappings of entity_managers.
You should have something like MunichInnovationGroupPatentBundle: ~

That is:

doctrine:
    orm:
        entity_managers:
            defaults:
                mappings:
                    MunichInnovationGroupPatentBundle: ~

Shouldn't it be enough with **auto_mapping: true**? – Jens Nov 23 '12 at 06:07

I just had this problem removing the default auto_mapping = true in my SF 2.3 app's config in order to add the stof/doctrineextensionsbundle mapping after SF2 threw an exception that auto_mapping wasn't a valid child. Re-adding auto_mapping as a sibling of the 'mappings' node (child of 'defaults' instead of a direct child of 'orm') above fixes the issues. – nealio82 Aug 02 '13 at 12:26
this answer is solved my problem. SF, see namespaces through that controller and start build entities properly. full description in that answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/37652091/5809937 – Vladimir Ch Dec 14 '16 at 06:04

In my case I was missing namespace name in the security.yml under providers

I had:

entity: { class: AdministratorBundle:AdminUser }

and needed to have:

entity: { class: NamespaceAdministratorBundle:AdminUser }

I forgot that the root class of the bundle includes the namespace at the beginning of its name. Thanks! Example for others: The root class for `Company\MyBundle` is `CompanyMyBundle`, not `MyBundle`. – jxmallett May 24 '15 at 23:15

If you use 2 or more entity managers -- you need to specify manager also getManager('YourManager')

$repository = 
    $this->getDoctrine()
    ->getManager('YourManager')
    ->getRepository('YourBundle:YourEntity');

Check you bundle logical name (MunichInnovationGroupPatentBundle). Bundle logical name is name of main class of your bundle, e.g. JobsBundle

and provide your entity sourcecode.

when I changed my query to $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager('pp_userdat'); em->->getRepository('MunichInnovationGroupPatentBundle:PmPortfolios') ->findBy(array('user' => '$user_id')); then it gives me some Proxy error in ORM – Zoha Ali Khan Jun 17 '12 at 12:49

Documentation here states you can use the string 'MunichInnovationGroupPatentBundle:PmPortfolios' as shortcut to 'MunichInnovationGroupPatentBundle\Entity\PmPortfolios' as long as your entity lives under the Entity namespace of your bundle.

Your bundle is MunichInnovationGroupBundle so instead of

->getRepository('MunichInnovationGroupPatentBundle:PmPortfolios')

use

->getRepository('MunichInnovationGroupPatentBundle\Entity\PmPortfolios')

Try being more explicit in your config.yml file by adding some fields:

orm:
    ...

    mappings:
        MunichInnovationGroupPatentBundle:
                type: annotation
                dir: "MunichInnovationGroupPatentBundle/Controller"
                is_bundle: true
                prefix: MunichInnovationGroup\PatentBundle
                alias: MunichInnovationGroupPatentBundle
        [more mappings..]

I was just about to add a response like this one, it worked for me with this approach, but not until I changed `alias:` to anything different from `MunichInnovationGroupPatentBundle` say: `alias: MunichInnovation` – juanmf Mar 25 '16 at 02:41

Please, check your config.yml + AppKernel.php

config.yml must be

orm:
    auto_generate_proxy_classes: "%kernel.debug%"
    naming_strategy: doctrine.orm.naming_strategy.underscore
    auto_mapping: true

or replace auto_mapping with

    mappings:
        StoreShopBundle: ~

for more, check this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/37652091/5809937

in AppKernel.php don't forget to check if bundle is activated:

        new MunichInnovationGroup\PatentBundle\MunichInnovationGroupPatentBundle(),

I had this when tried to use bandle name without core folder name. It was in config/security.yml

Folder structure in my case is the next src/Dp/UserBundle/....

I changed this `providers:

    main:
        entity: { class: UserBundle:User, property: username }`

to this `providers:

    main:
        entity: { class: DpUserBundle:User, property: username }`

So copy name of unknown Entity name and search each entries in project, check - they have to be with folder prefix (Dp in my case)

As at Symfony version 2.3.7, I used NameofCompanySomethingBundle:EntityRequired e.g. AcmeBlogBundle:User and it works.

auto-mapping: true (default) was used under orm: in config.yml.

This error will occur if you use multiple entity managers and you do not specify the entity manager in your controller function.

$em = $this->get('doctrine.orm.//your_entity_manager_name_here//_entity_manager');
$dql   = "SELECT ...";
$query = $em->createQuery($dql);

this worked for me.

open your app\config.yml, must be

orm:
    auto_generate_proxy_classes: "%kernel.debug%"
    naming_strategy: doctrine.orm.naming_strategy.underscore
    auto_mapping: true
replace to
    orm:
        auto_generate_proxy_classes: '%kernel.debug%'
        naming_strategy: doctrine.orm.naming_strategy.underscore
        auto_mapping: true
