Doctrine "relation does not exist" error - symfony

Question

I have two doctrine entities (Company and Supplier) linked together by a CompanySupplier entity. Entities and yaml resources are as below:
class Company
{
/**
* #var integer
*/
private $id;
/**
* #var string
*/
private $name;
}
class Supplier
{
/**
* #var integer
*/
private $id;
/**
* #var string
*/
private $name;
}
class CompanySupplier
{
/**
* #var integer
*/
private $id;
/**
* #var integer
*/
private $company_id;
/**
* #var integer
*/
private $supplier_id;
}
My resources are as below:
AppBundle\Entity\Company:
type: entity
table: companies
id:
id:
type: integer
fields:
name:
type: string
manyToMany:
Suppliers:
targetEntity: Supplier
joinTable:
name: company_suppliers
joinColumns:
company_id:
referencedColumnName: id
inverseJoinColumns:
supplier_id:
referencedColumnName: id
AppBundle\Entity\Supplier:
type: entity
table: suppliers
id:
id:
type: integer
fields:
name:
type: string
AppBundle\Entity\CompanySupplier:
type: entity
table: company_suppliers
id:
id:
type: integer
fields:
company_id:
type: integer
supplier_id:
type: integer
ManyToMany:
Supplier:
targetEntity: Supplier
joinColumn:
name: id
referencedColumnName: supplier_id
The problem is this seems to cause a “relation company_supplier does not exist” error which I can’t see how to resolve. What do I need to do to set the relations up so that these work?
It works if I don't have the CompanySupplier entity and resource, but as soon as I define those errors start appearing.
I'd appreciate any pointers this is driving me mad.

Answer 1

do change the namespaces and you don't need to write the relational table i think
see here
Company:
type: entity
manyToMany:
supplier:
targetEntity: CompanySupplier
inversedBy: company
joinTable:
name: company_suppliers
joinColumns:
name: id
referencedColumnName: supplier_id
inverseJoinColumns:
supplier_id:
referencedColumnName: id
Supplier:
type: entity
manyToMany:
company:
targetEntity: Company
mappedBy: supplier
