getManager causes an error, getEntityManager works fine?
doctrine, repository, symfony
Solution
The `getEntityManager` method of the `Registry` is deprecated. Since you're in a Repository, you extended not the Registry but the `EntityRepository`. That class has only a `getEntityManager` method, which isn't deprecated.
The reason for this inconsistency is quite easy: The Registry is something that's used for other Doctrine library too, like their ODMs. They don't use the name "Entity", but "Document". For that reason, using `getEntityManager` didn't make much sense for ODMs, that's why they changed if to `getManager`. On the other hand, the `EntityRepository` -as its name already tells us- is ORM specific, meaning there is no confusing for ODM users (they use another repository class).
Problem
As a newbie in Symfony2 & doctrine i'm struggling (in a custom repository class) with the difference between `getEntityManager()` and `getManager()`. I know `getEntityManager()` is being deprecated but if I use `getManager()` instead, I'm getting "Undefined method 'getManager'. The method name must start with either findBy or findOneBy!" In my class, the following code works: ``` public function haalidop($verbid) { return $this->getEntityManager() ->createQuery('SELECT p FROM myBundle:Verbs p WHERE p.verbid='.$verbid) ->getSingleResult(); } ``` If I change (upgrade?) it like the code below, I get the error... ``` public function haalidop($verbid) { return $this->getManager() ->createQuery('SELECT p FROM myBundle:Verbs p WHERE p.verbid='.$verbid) ->getSingleResult(); } ``` Anyone any suggestion what's wrong here?
