Well I’ve been playing with Symfony and I started building modules today from the Jobeet day 3 tutorial and I ran into an issue. The Symfony Project is basically a framework in which you can build PHP web applications which I’ve been using for a school project.
I’m not sure if I missed a step of if this is a system specific problem but basically I went to run the “symfony propel:build-module” command to genereate my module files and I got this error.
Fatal error: Class ‘PersonForm’ not found in /var/www/cam/trunk/lib/generator/sfModelGenerator.class.php on line 321
The “PersonForm” class was, as the error indicated, no where to be found. It turned out that I needed to run the command “symfony cc” which clears the symfony cache of files. I also had to run the command “symfony propel:build-forms“ in order to get symfony to build my modules.
So to re-cap
- Run $ php symfony cc
- Run $ php symfony propel:build-forms
- Run $ php symfony build:module (Params)
Once I did those steps the build:module step worked perfectly and I was able to view the skeleton application at my dev.php/person url.
Symfony seems to be very very powerful and I’m excited to learn how to develope applications with it.
