Creating a Bundle outside src/ - symfony

Question

I have created a bundle with symfony 2.3 but in this case (cause my teacher asked to me) outside src/ folder so I have ../symfony/fuentes/NameBundle instead of ../symfony/src/NameBundle. The new line appears in AppKernel and my new bundle appears on routing.yml, but when I try to launch the server
Bundle generation
Generating the bundle code: OK
Checking that the bundle is autoloaded: FAILED
Confirm automatic update of your Kernel [yes]?
Enabling the bundle inside the Kernel: OK
Confirm automatic update of the Routing [yes]?
Importing the bundle routing resource: OK
The command was not able to configure everything automatically.
You must do the following changes manually.
- Edit the composer.json file and register the bundle
namespace in the "autoload" section:
I have edit autoload and tried a lot of things (looking for here) but it appears the same error always.
C:\Users\Akenateb\Documents\UOC\AULAMENTOR\Symfony>php app/console server:run 127.0.0.1:8080
PHP Fatal error: Class 'AulaMentor\ExdosBundle\AulaMentorExdosBundle' not found in C:\Users\Akenateb\Documents\UOC\AULAMENTOR\Symfony\app\AppKernel.php on line 20
Can someone help me? I'm really stuck with it.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

First of all I want to thanks to the people who has answered. Here is what we have to do if we want to create a bundle outside 'src' folder, for example in 'fuentes' > '..Symfony/fuentes'.
If you have create with 'generate:bundle' I suggest you accept when the generator ask you if you want to create the complete structure, if you have create a bundle with generator goto step 3.
1- Make sure you have registered bundle in AppKernel and It exists there a line like this:
new YourProject\NameprojectBundle\YourProjectNameprojectBundle(),
2- Make sure you have adding a route to your app/config/routing and 'routing.yml' has you new bundle route, like this (you can add a prefix to your url, in this case fuentes):
your_project_name:
resource: "#YourProjectNameprojectBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
prefix: /fuentes
3- We edit 'app/autoload.php' and we add this line:
$loader->add('YourProject',realpath(__DIR__.'/../fuentes'));
Finally we can update assets doing with command line:
php app/console assets:install web
Hope it helps to someone.
Best Regards.

Answer 2

Do exactly as said in the comment:
Edit the composer.json file and register the bundle namespace in the "autoload" section
The src folder is automatically loaded using PSR convention. If you set classes outside of the src folder, they have to be declared as well.

Answer 3

In your composer.json file you can add another element in the autoload section. Here's an example that I think will work for your use case:
"autoload": {
"psr-0": {
"NameBundle\\": "fuentes/",
"": "src/"
}
},

Answer 4

Here's how to add simply another bundle outside your Symfony project, when we don't want to mess up with composer.json file.
The 2 first points are the same as in the Michael J.'s answer. Now to the 3rd point:
Say, we need to add a OurCompany/SomeBundle residing in the other project, which relative path is ../../OtherProject/src/OurCompany/SomeBundle to CurrentProject/app dir.
So we add this bundle to the CurrentProject application this way:
$loader->add('OurCompany\\SomeBundle', realpath(__DIR__.'/../../OtherProject/src'));
PLEASE NOTICE how the slashes and backslashes should be used (the remaining / or \ at the end doesn't matter, it's smart enough to figure it out).
And for the whole namespace to be loaded (all bundles namespaces in the other project available in CurrentProject):
$loader->add('OurCompany', realpath(__DIR__.'/../../OtherProject/src'));
