[Tip]How to set up a namespace for bundle

Question

Hello,
I have been using Skipper for a few days and have added new modules to my project and split a module in order to get a better layout. However I now have some entity that is a parent to entities in other modules. Each time I Export to ORM I need to manually correct the object name to include the full path.

In this application race circuits are children of countries as are race drivers.

In the entity DriverBundle\Entities\NewgtDriver the $country field generated by Skipper does not refer to the Common Bundle:

/**
 * 
 * 
 @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="NewgtCountry", inversedBy="driver")
 @ORM\JoinColumn(name="country_id", referencedColumnName="id")*/
private $country;

And I have to manually edit it:

  /**
     * 
     * 
     @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="\Newgt\CommonBundle\Entity\NewgtCountry", inversedBy="driver")
     @ORM\JoinColumn(name="country_id", referencedColumnName="id")*/
    private $country;

The NewgtCountry associations are defined as follows:

I tried to change the namespace ORM property for the common bundle, but this did not help.
I had hoped to set it to \Newgt\CommonBundle\Entity but I just ended up with some very long entity file names – Newgt.CommonBundle.Entity.NewgtCountry.php

Tried with leading slash
Tried with slashes and backslashes
Tried to find the right page in the manual….

In the end I went back to leaving this blank and manually editing the two (for now) entries to include the full path.

I hope you can point me in the right direction.

Best regards
Steve

This is solved by defining Namespace as ORM properties in the Property editor for the bundle in question:

Once the bundle has its namespace defined, all entities and associations will be exported with the proper namespaces.
