Question

when I use symfony2 shell and try to run

or

I got this error

 [Syntax Error] Expected Doctrine\Common\Annotations\DocLexer::T_CLOSE_CURLY_BRACES, got '@' at position 255 in property 

please make any decisions.

Answer 1

I also ran into this error. It's just a typo in one of your Entity annotations. A quick scan of your objects will open something like this:

 /** * @ORM\Id * @ORM\Column(type="integer" // note the missing close parentheses * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO") */ protected $id; 

Given the line number, it is probably located somewhere in one of the associations of entity associations.

Answer 2

As Kanter says, check the curly braces.

• Error message: [Syntax error] Expected Doctrine \ General \ Annotations \ DocLexer :: T_CLOSE_PARENTHESIS, received a "type" at position 62 in the property ...

Using the wrong type

• Code example: @ORM \ Column (name = "column_name", type = "string", length = "20", nullable = false)
• Error message: [Type of error] Attribute "length" @ORM \ Column declared in property ...
