Symfony2 and Doctrine entity undefined method

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.
