Not able to load third party class in Symfony2

Question

My main problem is, that i dont have access to Solarium (a third party libary) in my symfony2-project and I do not understand why. I have a symfony2 application and want to write my own Solr connector. Therefore I want to use Solarium. (IMPORTANT: I dont want to use other bundles for this)

First I installed it via composer

"require": {
        //...
        "solarium/solarium": "3.3.0.x-dev"
    }

Then i called:

php composer.phar install

php composer.phar update

Second i created a new directory for my connector in my bundle:

/src/COMPANY/ThatIsMyBundle/SolrSearch/

In this directory is my class SolrConnector.php

namespace COMPANY\ThatIsMyBundle\SolrSearch;

use Solarium\Client;
//use Solarium\Core\Client;

class SolrConnector {
        private $solr_client;
        function __construct($settings)
        {
            $solr_config = array(
                'endpoint' => array(
                    'protokolldb' => array(
                        'host' => $settings['solrHost'],
                        'port' => $settings['solrPort'],
                        'path' => $settings['path'],
                        'core' => $settings['core'],
                        'timeout' => $settings['timeout']
                    )
                )
            );
            $this->solr_client = new Client($solr_config);
        }

         /**
         * Check if Solr is on.
         */
       function executePing() {
            $ping = $this->solr_client->createPing();
            try {
                $this->solr_client->ping($ping);
                echo "Solr is fine.\n";
            } catch (Exception $e) {
                echo "Solr is unaccessible. Look up whats wrong with Solr and restart this script.\n ".$e->getMessage();
            }
        }

    }

I got this error message from symfony:

Attempted to load class "Client" from namespace "Solarium" in "(my specific path to the project)/SolrSearch/SolrConnector.php line 32." Do you need to "use" it from another namespace?

What i have to do to use Solarium in my Symfony2 Bundle? I think it is a namespace/use/require problem. I googled it for hours... with no solution.

Things i tried:

adding

require('../vendor/autoload.php);

same error.

@KhorneHoly the Bundle is fine. I generate with the symfony2 command generate:bundle — Rubinum, Apr 02 '15 at 09:20
Look at vendor directory. Is Solarium present? If not, try to run `composer update` instead of `install`. — kba, Apr 02 '15 at 09:49
Could you paste Client file into solarium bundle? (remember to inclued the path as a comment, thank you) — DonCallisto, Apr 02 '15 at 11:23
You need to add your bundle autoload_namespaces in vendor/composore — Pratik Gadoya, Apr 02 '15 at 12:01
@DonCallisto solarium isnt a bundle and I dont prefer to paste my code into foreign packages which i dont own. Thematically does my code not belong to solarium. — Rubinum, Apr 02 '15 at 12:44
No, sorry, I haven't expressed myself in a proper way. My statement should have been: "Could you paste HERE the "Client" file that is into Solarium bundle" (or folder, or whatever)? — DonCallisto, Apr 02 '15 at 13:32

When you use

php composer.phar install

it only install packages stored in composer.lock

You need to run

php composer.phar update

to install new packages. It also clear and warm up symfony cache and autoloader

solarium is installed well. it is in my vendor directory. I think the solution has to do with the namespace. i would get other errors if solarium isnt installed well – Rubinum Apr 02 '15 at 10:30
