The confusing directory structure

[analytik]

Hi,

First of all, thanks for Mandango and this Bundle, I do appreciate all the effort that went into this. However, something seems wrong - maybe I'm just missing something here.

Bundles in Symfony should be self-sufficient, well, bundles of code, and should be compact. Why does MandangoBundle need to generate a separate src/Model?

And why does Model class for my bundle reside in this /Model - OUTSIDE my bundle, while extending an ABSTRACT class that's INSIDE my bundle, which extends the base class which is again, for some reason OUTSIDE my bundle.

This seems all completely unnecessary, as the models are explicitly tied to the bundle, and have no reason to walk around outside its boundaries.

Hello, analytik!
I try to use your fork (it works with Sf 2.1 and is stored entity into bundle) but I have some problems.
I have src/St/AppBundle
then I created schema.yml into src/St/AppBundle/Resources/config/mandango/
And tried to

StAppBundle\Article:
fields:
title: string
content: string

or St\AppBundle\Article:
or Article:

And I always have the same errors when I try to run php ./app/console mandango:generate into my console

processing config classes
processing class Article
**** What is wrong with class Article? Where does it belong to?

[RuntimeException]
The class "Article" does not exist.

processing config classes
processing class StAppBundle\Article
**** What is wrong with class StAppBundle\Article? Where does it belong to?

[RuntimeException]
The class "StAppBundle\Article" does not exist.

processing config classes
processing class AppBundle\Article
**** What is wrong with class AppBundle\Article? Where does it belong to?

[RuntimeException]
The class "AppBundle\Article" does not exist.

processing config classes
processing class Sr\AppBundle\Article
**** What is wrong with class Sr\AppBundle\Article? Where does it belong to?

[RuntimeException]
The class "Sr\AppBundle\Article" does not exist.

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Hi Igor!

Thanks for using my fork, I'm glad it might be useful for someone (although I haven't updated it in a long time).

Here's my src/Company/SomethingBundle/Resources/config/mandango/schema.yml:

Company\SomethingBundle\Model\Human:
    collection:
        people
    fields:
        title: string
        first_name: string
#etc

I don't think I've ever seen an error like that. Have you managed to successfully use original MandangoBundle without problems before?

Sorry to ask elementary questions, but just to be sure - ignore them if you did.

Did you install by putting this in your composer.json?
"analytik/mandango-bundle": "dev-master",

Does AppKernel.php have this?
new Mandango\MandangoBundle\MandangoBundle(),

One very random thought - maybe you generated models before with original MandangoBundle, and some part of the code stayed in your repository, and autoload wants to load the find the class in the old place?

Also! This probably won't solve your problem, but one important problem with my fork that I know of - after you successfully generate classes, you need to put this at the end of autoload.php - it's an ugly hack, but I didn't have time to come up with a clean solution.

require('MandangoMetadataFactory.php');
require('MandangoMetadataFactoryInfo.php');

Also, not sure if that might be related, but I'm using some dev version of Symfony 2.1.x from September; haven't really used it recently, but when I try run mandango:generate it works.

Also I don't have any local changes in my forked MandangoBundle.

Thanks a lot! St\AppBundle\Model\Article: - it works!
And I added

require('MandangoMetadataFactory.php');
require('MandangoMetadataFactoryInfo.php');

into my autoload.php.

It is a pity that the bundle poorly developed.
But I think Doctrine is too slow and greedy. Maybe I'm wrong.

[analytik]

Hooray! Glad it helped 👍

The original bundle isn't that bad - besides, like I mentioned - the directory structure that didn't make any sense to me. I'm a Symfony noob, though, so there isn't much I could do in a limited time. Still, it's much better than AdminGeneratorBundle, that thing gives me nightmares... eww.

I haven't looked into Doctrine myself, but I might have to give in, given how many bundles are available for it. Or wait for Propel2, because PHP traits are going to be awesome for Propel behaviours.

Thanks! Will need more time to test the doctrine of the load.
