[Semantical Error] The annotation "@Gedmo\Mapping\Annotation\Timestampable"

[glennjacobs]

Having done a recent composer update I'm now getting the following error. I've tried rolling back to previous versions of Laravel-Doctrine, the extensions and also Gedmo, but nothing appears to help.

I'm not really sure where to look, it was working 100% before the composer update.

[Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationException]                                                                                                    
  [Semantical Error] The annotation "@Gedmo\Mapping\Annotation\Timestampable" in property App\Entities\CodeRange::$createdAt does not exist, or could  
   not be auto-loaded. 

My composer settings are

        "laravel-doctrine/orm": "1.1.*",
        "laravel-doctrine/extensions": "1.0.*",
        "gedmo/doctrine-extensions": "^2.4",

Are you able to help?

Is DoctrineServiceProvider registered before the ExtensionsServiceProvider?

[glennjacobs]

I've tried them both ways round, currently as below

        /*
         * Package Service Providers...
         */
        LaravelDoctrine\Extensions\GedmoExtensionsServiceProvider::class,
        LaravelDoctrine\ORM\DoctrineServiceProvider::class,

Really strange as it was working fine :S

Here's my config file if it's of help.

Extensions must be defined after DoctrineSP.
Let's discuss on Slack?

[glennjacobs]

Yeah, I'm on there now..

[fridolin-koch]

I have the same issue with Lumen

Nevermind, other problem :)

[glennjacobs]

Finally worked it out and in hindsight I don't know why I didn't try this sooner!

My App service provider had a custom validation method... which used the Auth facade, which is running off Doctrine!

Moving the Doctrine service provider above the App service provider solved it.

        LaravelDoctrine\ORM\DoctrineServiceProvider::class,

        /*
         * Application Service Providers...
         */
        App\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class,
        App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider::class,
        App\Providers\EventServiceProvider::class,
        App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider::class,

Sometimes a day off gives your mind a bit of clarity!

Thanks again Patrick for your help the other day.

In case anyone else runs into this issue, I had experienced it due to adding custom Doctrine Types in a register() method of a custom repository. Moving the types to the boot() method made everything work again.

[patrickbrouwers]

@jwondrusch yes, never call any services in register() as the service might not been registered yet.

For custom doctrine types we have a config setting: https://github.com/laravel-doctrine/orm/blob/1.1/config/doctrine.php#L113
