Original Pull Request: https://github.com/doctrine/orm/pull/5832

State: closed
Merged: No

Since 2.5 (https://github.com/doctrine/doctrine2/issues/1749) the Join no longer required, but this causes an invalid warning because the "inversed-by" is not being parsed and added to the metadata of the association.

The warning:

The field Customer#accounts is on the inverse side of a bi-directional relationship, but the specified mappedBy association on the target-entity Account#customers does not contain the required 'inversedBy="accounts"' attribute.

The doctrine mapping xml's:

   <entity name="Customer">
       ...
        <many-to-many target-entity="Account" field="accounts" mapped-by="customers" >
            <cascade>
                <cascade-all/>
            </cascade>
        </many-to-many>
    </entity>

    <entity name="Account">
        ...
        <many-to-many inversed-by="accounts" target-entity="Customer" field="customers">
            <cascade>
                <cascade-all/>
            </cascade>
        </many-to-many>
    </entity>
