make:user gives 'Cannot find the entity manager for class "App\Entity\User" ' if App\Entity is not empty

[Adi-18]

Replicated on a fresh Symfony 6.1 installation
symfony/maker-bundle v1.44.0

Error: 'Cannot find the entity manager for class "App\Entity\User" '
after command 'symfony console make:user' and if there is already an Entity in App\Entity

Howdy @Adi-18 - i'm unable to replicate this locally. Can you provider a simple re-producer app that demonstrates this error?

Another thing to check out is your doctrine.yaml config:

In a fresh 6.1 app, it should look something like:

doctrine:
    dbal:
        url: '%env(resolve:DATABASE_URL)%'

        # IMPORTANT: You MUST configure your server version,
        # either here or in the DATABASE_URL env var (see .env file)
        #server_version: '13'
    orm:
        auto_generate_proxy_classes: true
        naming_strategy: doctrine.orm.naming_strategy.underscore_number_aware
        auto_mapping: true
        mappings:
            App:
                is_bundle: false
                dir: '%kernel.project_dir%/src/Entity'
                prefix: 'App\Entity'
                alias: App

For the user entity (Using Postgres)

#[ORM\Entity(repositoryClass: UserRepository::class)]
#[ORM\Table(name: '`user`')]
class User implements UserInterface, PasswordAuthenticatedUserInterface
{
    ...

Also, at what point are you getting that error message when running the make:user command?

Hi @jrushlow
I attached a zip file with my demo project. So I hope there are all information you need.

Hi,
Same bug here, but with a solution ;)

Check your Doctrine config, it fix the problem in my project:

I don't have the "doctrine.orm.mappings.App.type: attribute" set ...and have entities with annotations, not attributes....

Thanks to : this post in stackoverflow

I can confirm @gbtux answer.

It seems that MakerBundle will write either attributes or annotations based on our development environment.
If doctrine.orm.mappins.App.type value, in config/packages/doctrine.yaml, doesn't match your environment, then the error occur.

I produced the opposite, doctrine.orm.mappins.App.type was set to annotation, but MakerBundle was using attributes.

[Seesicht-IT]

I ran into the same issue.

I set up a completely new installation of Symfony 5.4.11 with Maker-Bundle 1.45.0. And I am already running on PHP 8.1.0. and therefore set require.php to 8.1 in composer.json.

With this setup, I run into the mentioned error.

When I add adding doctrine.orm.mappins.App.type: attribute to the doctrine.yaml file, then it works fine.
When I set it to adding doctrine.orm.mappins.App.type: annotation to remove the line then I run into the error.

I confirm that the solution given by @gbtux worked fine for me. Thanks!

[jrushlow]

Yes that makes sense. We dropped Annotation support back in July -> https://github.com/symfony/maker-bundle/releases/tag/v1.44.0

Thinking of how we can provide better DX to say "Hey, you're using annotations, maker only uses attributes..."

I'm from Brazil, I used the tips from all of you here and made the following modification, I added the attribute "type: attribute" and it worked, I also did the test with the annotation, but for this case it didn't work.
orm:
auto_generate_proxy_classes: true
enable_lazy_ghost_objects: true
naming_strategy: doctrine.orm.naming_strategy.underscore_number_aware
auto_mapping: true
mappings:
App:
is_bundle: false
dir: '%kernel.project_dir%/src/Entity'
prefix: 'App\Entity'
alias: App
type: attribute
# type: annotation
