mapping is invalid when Add New Properties to a Category

[jcpla]

V3.0.8

Hello,
I hope I didn't made a mistake but I have a problem with the documentation "How to Add New Properties to a Category"
https://docs.akeneo.com/3.0/manipulate_pim_data/category/add_new_properties_to_a_category.html

I've install a fresh new akeneo version to be sure following : https://docs.akeneo.com/3.0/install_pim/manual/installation_ce_archive.html

Validate the connection on the backoffice and then I've followed every steps (same bundles folder and files) until https://docs.akeneo.com/3.0/manipulate_pim_data/category/add_new_properties_to_a_category.html#define-the-category-form

php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --dump-sql
php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force

Which was OK, but then I put the command to validate the mapping

# bin/console doctrine:schema:validate 
[Mapping]  FAIL - The entity-class 'Acme\Bundle\CatalogBundle\Entity\Category' mapping is invalid:
* The target entity 'Akeneo\Pim\Enrichment\Component\Category\Model\CategoryTranslationInterface' specified on Acme\Bundle\CatalogBundle\Entity\Category#translations is unknown or not an entity.

[Database] OK - The database schema is in sync with the mapping files.

I was migrating from 2.3 to 3 but I have the same mapping errors for our custom entities

I'm not sure on what to do now.

Thanks for your input and your help.

Hi @jcpla!
Can you send the content return by the command php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --dump-sql ?

[jcpla]

Hi Doodoune,
here is the output.

# php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --dump-sql 
Nothing to update - your database is already in sync with the current entity metadata.

#  bin/console doctrine:schema:validate 
[Mapping]  FAIL - The entity-class 'Acme\Bundle\CatalogBundle\Entity\Category' mapping is invalid:
* The target entity 'Akeneo\Pim\Enrichment\Component\Category\Model\CategoryTranslationInterface' specified on Acme\Bundle\CatalogBundle\Entity\Category#translations is unknown or not an entity.

[Database] OK - The database schema is in sync with the mapping files.

Thank you for your help.

I found some link that talks about this kind of errors :
Sylius/Sylius#3429
Sylius/Sylius#8739

[jcpla]

Hi,
I've seen these issues and the solutions proposed are not working.

Sylius/Sylius#3429 :

• propose to move the custom bundles before the rest : It's not working.
• don't work with interfaces in ORM

Sylius/Sylius#8739 :

• override the mapping with no interfaces

I can't overwrite the entity and relations to other entities the way you describe it in https://docs.akeneo.com/3.0/manipulate_pim_data/category/add_new_properties_to_a_category.html#configure-the-mapping-override

define the mapping for your own field only:

# app/config/config.yml
akeneo_storage_utils:
    mapping_overrides:
        -
            original: Akeneo\Pim\Enrichment\Component\Category\Model\Category
            override: Acme\Bundle\CatalogBundle\Entity\Category

I still have the same error if i change the translation field :

# /src/Acme/Bundle/CatalogBundle/Resources/config/doctrine/Category.orm.yml
    oneToMany:
        translations:
            targetEntity: Akeneo\Pim\Enrichment\Component\Category\Model\CategoryTranslation
            mappedBy: foreignKey
            cascade:
                - persist
                - detach
            orphanRemoval: true

Is there another way to override the whole entity ?

Can you reproduce my problem if you follow your documentation ? Should it be updated ?
Thanks

Hi @Doodoune ,
The problem is still present on version 3.0.14

akeneo/pim-docs#1128
#9953

Will you have a closer look on it ?

Thanks

A small update.

We had a similar issue and where able to pinpoint the issue with the latest version bump of symfony v3.4.4 => v3.4.22 by forking the CE-dev and rollback that symfony version.

It appears to have something to do with the doctrine ORM mappings and how the Symfony bridge component handles them. No futher details so far as we don't have the time to scope this.
But maybe this hint might trigger someone to dive in.

This commit somewhat resolves our issue /
