Doctrine2 + CodeIgniter and database table creation issue

Question

I'm using Doctrine2 with codeIgniter, I've created some models in yml format. Using command line I've created the Proxies and Entities. When I'm trying to create the database tables, I'm getting the following error:

[Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\MappingException]
Invalid mapping file 'Entities.category.dcm.yml' for class 'Entities\category'.

Here's Entities.category.dcm.yml:

Entities\Category:
  type: entity
  table: categories
  fields:
    id:
      type: integer
      id: true
      generator:
        strategy: AUTO
    name:
      type: string
      length: 50
      nullable: false
    description:
      type: string
      length: 255

First of all, check the paths configured for your entities and for the YML mapping driver.

Also, your Entities.category.dcm.yml contains mappings for Entities\Category, and not Entities\category.

As you can see in the base FileDriver Doctrine ORM does direct matching for mapped classes, and applies no normalization on the class names. Category and category are therefore different.

The file name has a capital C `Entities.Category.dcm.yml` – Bagbyte Mar 18 '13 at 18:45
Your entity has lowercase `c` though. – Ocramius Mar 19 '13 at 09:28
from where it is getting the lowercase c? It is capital in both: Filename and at first line inside the file – Bagbyte Mar 19 '13 at 12:40
@user915829 not in your class name. I can see that from the exception message :) – Ocramius Mar 19 '13 at 21:22
I've checked and I have no lowercase c anywhere... other ideas? – Bagbyte Mar 20 '13 at 12:48
@user915829 can you update the question with the exact error message? – Ocramius Mar 20 '13 at 13:35
The error message I provide is the only one I got....I will try with a windows machine...sometimes MAC OS give some problem with doctrine – Bagbyte Mar 20 '13 at 14:12
@user915829 the error message clearly states `Entities\category` with lowercase `c`. The file defines mappings for `Entities\Category` with uppercase `C`. – Ocramius Mar 20 '13 at 14:14
but my question is...since I AM the creator of the entity...and I've created it with the uppercase C, WHY is is looking for a lowercase c? – Bagbyte Mar 20 '13 at 14:32
Change all the cases so that they match :) – Ocramius Mar 20 '13 at 22:42
