Original Pull Request: https://github.com/doctrine/orm/pull/846

State: closed
Merged: No

in annotation you can don't write columns names:

/**
 * @ManyToMany(targetEntity="Group", inversedBy="users")
 * @JoinTable(name="users_groups")
 */

but in yaml you should:

manyToMany:
    groups:
        targetEntity: Group
        inversedBy: users
        joinTable:
            name: users_groups
        joinColumns:
            user_id:
            referencedColumnName: id
        inverseJoinColumns:
            group_id:
            referencedColumnName: id

this patch fixes this unexpected behavior
