How to configure doctrine extensions in Zend Framework 2?

Question

I have added this line to my composer.json:

"gedmo/doctrine-extensions": "dev-master"

And this is inside my module's module.config.php:

'doctrine' => array(
    'driver' => array(
        __NAMESPACE__ . '_driver' => array(
            'class' => 'Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Driver\AnnotationDriver',
            'cache' => 'array',
            'paths' => array(__DIR__ . '/../src/' . __NAMESPACE__ . '/Entity'),
        ),
        'orm_default' => array(
            'drivers' => array(
                __NAMESPACE__ . '\Entity' => __NAMESPACE__ . '_driver'
            ),
        ),
    ),
),

Then I want to use timestampable annotaion in my entities, for example:

/**
 * @Gedmo\Timestampable(on="create")
 * @ORM\Column(type="datetime",nullable=true)
 */
private $created;

/**
 * @Gedmo\Timestampable(on="update")
 * @ORM\Column(type="datetime",nullable=true)
 */
private $updated;

But that doesn't work. When I persist the entity with above annotations, the created and updated columns are NULL.

Might be too obvious, but you also adde Gedmo namespace to be loaded? In both, application.config.php and the usestatements inside your entity-class? – Presently

I am having the same issue trying to generate the entity classes. Did you get this to work? – Trumpet

@Trumpet Check my answer, I have figured this out. – Darwin

Thanks Richard, I actually have the subscribers working but I can't get the annotations into my entity classes from yaml files using the doctrine orm:generate-entities tool. Can you shed some light on how you go the annotations working? – Trumpet

The solution was to change my module.config.php to be more like this:

'doctrine' => array(
    'driver' => array(
        __NAMESPACE__ . '_driver' => array(
            'class' => 'Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Driver\AnnotationDriver',
            'cache' => 'array',
            'paths' => array(__DIR__ . '/../src/' . __NAMESPACE__ . '/Entity'),
        ),
        'orm_default' => array(
            'drivers' => array(
                __NAMESPACE__ . '\Entity' => __NAMESPACE__ . '_driver'
            ),
        ),
    ),
    'eventmanager' => array(
        'orm_default' => array(
            'subscribers' => array(
                'Gedmo\Timestampable\TimestampableListener',
                'Gedmo\SoftDeleteable\SoftDeleteableListener',
            ),
        ),
    ),
),
