Why is Doctrine 2 creating the ~ Entity.php file?

Question

When I create my entities, I have a file with the prefix ~ as a backup file or something

Is this a mistake or do you need to manually delete them?

Answer 1

Yes, this is the backup file generated by EntityGenerator in Doctrine 2.

You just need to set the backupExisting property to false in the EntityGenerator class. File location \Doctrine\ORM\Tools\EntityGenerator .
