Originally created by @jakumi on GitHub (Mar 13, 2018).

The error message provides only half of the necessary information. It tells which attribute is concerned, but not on which entity, between which two entities, or anything else giving the required hint as to which mapping is wrong.

Adding the sourceEntity to the error message would provide that missing information and help locate the malformed mapping significantly. used in:
43c252458b/lib/Doctrine/ORM/Mapping/ClassMetadata.php (L730)

(since the called static function is public, I shy away from providing a pull request)
