Doctrine default cli-config.php location

Question

I would like to change the location of the doctrine cli-config.php file as well as possibly change it's name -- the first request is more important.

Any ideas???

You must remove the file? I don't know if is what you need but you can make a copy via post command in the composer files, let me know if you need more info. Hope this help — Matteo, Jun 08 '15 at 05:13
What is so specific about this file? Is it Doctrine internal? If so, do you have a link? What is your final goal? — Tomas Votruba, Jun 08 '15 at 11:58
This file has to be in the root directory of your project - same as composer - or in a /config directory -- I would prefer to have it in a /scripts/cli-doctrine.php location — Alex.Barylski, Jun 08 '15 at 12:44

If you are using the doctrine CLI directly, this is not possible.

You can see this by having a look at the relevant source code:

$directories = array(getcwd(), getcwd() . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'config');
$configFile = null;
foreach ($directories as $directory) {
    $configFile = $directory . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'cli-config.php';
    if (file_exists($configFile)) {
        break;
    }
}

It only ever checks for cli-config.php and config/cli-config.php.

The alternative is to implement a CLI based on the Symfony Console component (which is what the Doctrine CLI is based on) yourself, and pull in the Doctrine commands. This allows you to avoid having cli-config.php altogether at the cost of having to put in a not-insignificant amount of work. You can find the details of this approach in this answer.

Exists another one approach. You can add in custom location file, for example cli.php(with your own file name). Than add in this file something like that:

```

<?php
// cli.php
// where your entityManager is created
require_once "bootstrap.php";

$helperSet = new \Symfony\Component\Console\Helper\HelperSet(array(
    'em' => new \Doctrine\ORM\Tools\Console\Helper\EntityManagerHelper($entityManager)
));

\Doctrine\ORM\Tools\Console\ConsoleRunner::run($helperSet);

```

And you can run this file from where you want like php cli.php.
