Orm Entities 8.0.0 / 8.1.0

Permalink
Hello
I tried to copy a block which i developed on 8.0.0 to my new project on 8.1.0. I use some custom doctrine entities within this block but on my new project there was no database table created and no proxy class either.
In 8.0.0 i used the @ORM prefixes in the entity class like so:
namespace Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
/**
 * @ORM\Entity
 * @ORM\Table(name="btMyCustomEntity")
 */
class MyCustomEntity{...}


To get the repository i used:
$items = $entityManager->getRepository('Entity\MyCustomEntity')
                ->findBy(array('bId' => $this->bID), array('orderNr' => 'ASC'));


Now on 8.1.0 this doesent seem to work anymore. If i set "appVersionRequired" in package controller to 5.7.13 and use "old" style class definition eg.
namespace Concrete\Package\MyPackage\Src\Entity;
/**
 * @Entity
 * @Table(name="btMyCustomEntity")
 */
class MyCustomEntity{...}

and
$items = $entityManager->getRepository('Concrete\Package\MyPackage\Src\Entity\MyCustomEntity')
->findBy(array('bId' => $this->bID), array('orderNr' => 'ASC'));

everything works fine.

Is anybody else stumbled upon this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best Markus

Here are the changes I had to make when building entities for Version 8

In the controller

use \Concrete\Core\Database\EntityManager\Provider\StandardPackageProvider;
protected $appVersionRequired = '8.0.0';
public function getEntityManagerProvider()
{
    $provider = new StandardPackageProvider($this->app, $this, [
        'src/Concrete/Entity' => 'Concrete\Package\PackageName\Entity'
    ]);
    return $provider;
}

Then in the Entity (which lives in /packages/package_name/src/Concrete/Entity
namespace Concrete\Package\PackageName\Entity;
use \Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

Making sure you use the @ORM\ before the definitions.

Then when you want to use the entity you can do
use Concrete\Core\Support\Facade\Database;
$resultss = Database::get()->getEntityManager()->createQuery('SELECT * FROM Concrete\Package\PackageName\Entity\EntityName')->getResult();

I hope this helps.
