Symfony Compile Error Failed opening required Proxies

While testing a Symfony web application in production environment (--env=prod) I encountered an odd exception which more or less was triggered with each request:

Uncaught PHP Exception Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException:

Compile Error: require(): Failed opening required 'var/cache/prod/doctrine/orm/Proxies/__CG__some-file.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php7:/usr/share/php') at vendor/doctrine/common/lib/Doctrine/Common/Proxy/AbstractProxyFactory.php line 223

First I should clarify few things:

  • my Symfony v3.4.4 application defines few Doctrine ORM entities which are configured to use the ORM Cache via @ORM\Cache annotation
  • the application configuration (see config.yml) defines the options doctrine.orm.entity_managers.{metadata_cache_driver,query_cache_driver,result_cache_driver,second_level_cache}

In order to fix this the first thing I tried was to clear the cache for the production environment:

bin/console cache:clear --env=prod

but unfortunately this didn't fix the problem.

The I removed the var/cache/prod folder manually and I just let the application to recreate the cache by itself. It also dind't work.

The only thing that seemed to work was to warm-up the cache forcibly by running the following command:

bin/console cache:clear --env=prod --no-debug

bin/console cache:warmup --env=prod --no-debug

Please note that this problem never occurred in development environment.

Now, if you think that this article was interesting don't forget to rate it. It shows me that you care and thus I will continue write about these things.

    Hi, thank you for this tip!

    anyway, just a mistake in your code :

    ```
    bin/console cache:warmup --env-prod --no-debug
    ```
    should be:

    ```
    bin/console cache:warmup --env=prod --no-debug
    ```
