Jira issue originally created by user jacobwalker0814:

When I use orm:generate-entities --generate-methods=true to add methods to an existing entity (such as when I add new properties) the generator will redeclare methods if my existing entity is using different case. This is a fatal error because PHP method names are treated as case insensitive.

I have not tested this in 2.4.

Here is a minimal example entity before running the generator. Not the case of getID

/****
 * @ORM\Entity
 */
class Employee
{
    /****
     * @ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer", nullable=false)
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="IDENTITY")
     */
    protected $id;

    public function getID()
    {
        return $this->id;
    }
}

And after running the generator

/****
 * @ORM\Entity
 */
class Employee
{
    /****
     * @ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer", nullable=false)
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="IDENTITY")
     */
    protected $id;

    public function getID()
    {
        return $this->id;
    }

    /****
     * Get id
     *
     * @return integer 
     */
    public function getId()
    {
        return $this->id;
    }
}
