symfony propel:form:generate throws ErrorException - forms

Question

I work with symfony-standard 2.1
my composer.json file:
{
"name": "xxx",
"description": "xxx",
"autoload": {
"psr-0": {
"": "src/"
}
},
"minimum-stability": "dev",
"authors": [
{
"name": "xxx",
"email": "xxx"
}
],
"require": {
"php": ">=5.3.2",
"ext-iconv": "*",
"ext-intl": "*",
"igorw/composer-yaml": "dev-master",
"symfony/symfony": "2.1.*",
"doctrine/orm": ">=2.2.3,<2.4-dev",
"doctrine/doctrine-bundle": "1.0.*",
"twig/extensions": "1.0.*",
"symfony/assetic-bundle": "2.1.*",

},
"scripts": {
"post-install-cmd": [
"Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::buildBootstrap"
],
"post-update-cmd": [
"Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::buildBootstrap"
]
},
"config": {
"bin-dir": "bin"
},
"extra": {
"symfony-app-dir": "app",
"symfony-web-dir": "web"
}
}
I followed the installation of propel on http://www.propelorm.org/cookbook/symfony2/working-with-symfony2.html
then I used the comman
php app/console propel:form:generate #AcmeDemoBundle Book Author
and it throws following exception:
[ErrorException]
Catchable Fatal Error: Argument 1 passed to Propel\PropelBundle\Command\AbstractCommand::getSchemasFromBundle()
must implement interface Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Bundle\BundleInterface, null given,
called in \vendor\propel\propel-bundle\Propel\PropelBundle\Command\FormGenerateCommand.php on line 55
and defined in \vendor\propel\propel-bundle\Propel\PropelBundle\Command\AbstractCommand.php line 268
I have tried this a few times (creating new projects and following the installation instruction of propel); I also tried it by installing all tags (one after another) of branch 1.1, but i always get the ErrorException from above.
I have searched if someone has the same problem, but I haven´t found anybody and I don´t know anymore what I could do.

Answer 1

which is your os?
if its windows and you use powershell then you might have the same problem as me. the # sign is an operator in powershell (see What does the "#" symbol do in Powershell?)
so in the windows powershell the bundle name has to be quoted
php app/console propel:form:generate '#AcmeStoreBundle'
maybe the problem also appears on other operation systems
