Invalid field override named 'email' - symfony

Question

I am trying to override two properties of FOSUserBundle's User mapping.
use FOS\UserBundle\Model\User as BaseUser;
...
use Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\Validator\Constraints\UniqueEntity;
/**
* #ORM\Entity
* #ORM\HasLifecycleCallbacks
* #ORM\Table(name="user")
* #UniqueEntity(
* fields={"emailCanonical", "zone"},
* errorPath="email",
* message="This email address is already in use."
* )
* #ORM\AttributeOverrides({
* #ORM\AttributeOverride(name="email", column=#ORM\Column(type="string", name="email", length=255, unique=false, nullable=false)),
* #ORM\AttributeOverride(name="emailCanonical", column=#ORM\Column(type="string", name="emailCanonical", length=255, unique=false, nullable=false))
* })
*/
class User extends BaseUser
{
...
Everything seems to be working fine, except when I generate accessors: Invalid field override named 'email'
The error is thrown here:
// Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataInfo
public function setAttributeOverride($fieldName, array $overrideMapping)
{
if ( ! isset($this->fieldMappings[$fieldName])) {
throw MappingException::invalidOverrideFieldName($this->name, $fieldName);
}
Here, $this->fieldMappings only contains the fields of my child User and not of the parent (mapped superclass).
Anyone got a clue?

The way I managed to fix this issue with Invalid field override named [field] for class [class] was to also add the overwritten attribute in the class I overwritten it.
I'm using version Symfony v2.7.8 and Doctrine v1.6.1.
Example:
<?php
use FOS\UserBundle\Model\User as BaseUser;
/**
* #ORM\Entity
* #ORM\Table(name="user")
*
* #ORM\HasLifecycleCallbacks
* #ORM\AttributeOverrides({
* #ORM\AttributeOverride(name="usernameCanonical",
* column=#ORM\Column(
* type="string",
* name="username_canonical",
* length=255,
* unique=false
* )
* )
* })
*/
class User extends BaseUser
{
/**
* #var string
*
* #ORM\Column(type="string", name="username_canonical", length=255, unique=false)
*/
protected $usernameCanonical;
...
}

EDIT:
You're right, there is mapping info in FOSUserBundle/Resources/config/doctrine/model/User.orm.xml...
<mapped-superclass name="FOS\UserBundle\Model\User">
...
<field name="usernameCanonical" column="username_canonical" type="string" length="255" unique="true" />
<field name="email" column="email" type="string" length="255" />
Just guessing: Maybe this xml orm config is not parsed properly? Or maybe you need to do the overwrites in xml too?

I know this is an old post, but i found a sulution, at least it worked for me, maybe it would be helpful for someone else.
Well, i had the same issue and i'm using a custom manager for the fos_user, in the declaration file config.yml under doctrine entity_manager custom manager i declared the mapping to FOS_userBundle, BUT what was missing is to tell FOS_user that we use a diffrent manager and that's by adding :
fos_user:
---- db_driver: orm
---- model_manager_name: MyCustom_Manager

Answer 4

Sorry to revive an old post. What worked for me was to remove the ORM annotation on the field and ensure the name in AttributeOverride was the same as the field name being overridden.
E.g. the ff ORM annotation
/**
* #var string
*
* #ORM\Column(type="string", name="username_canonical", length=255, unique=false)
*/
protected $usernameCanonical;
Should become:
#ORM\AttributeOverride(name="usernameCanonical",
column=#ORM\Column(
type="string",
name="username_canonical",
length=255,
unique=false
)
)
Then, remove the ORM annotation to ensure we don't get a "Duplicate mapping for column" error. The final class looks like:
<?php
use FOS\UserBundle\Model\User as BaseUser;
/**
* #ORM\Entity
* #ORM\Table(name="user")
*
* #ORM\HasLifecycleCallbacks
* #ORM\AttributeOverrides({
* #ORM\AttributeOverride(name="usernameCanonical",
* column=#ORM\Column(
* type="string",
* name="username_canonical",
* length=255,
* unique=false
* )
* )
* })
*/
class User extends BaseUser
{
/**
* #var string
*/
protected $usernameCanonical;
}
