After adding namespace to Model, modelManager->executeQuery throws errors

[Krzysiaczek]

Hi,

I'm not sure how to qualify this as bug or me being dummy.

As in the title I've got a standard Phalcon Model class which worked fine until now.

use Phalcon\Mvc\Model;

class Venues extends Model{
  // standard

  public function getSomethingSpecial(){
    $phql =" .... ";
    $rows = $this->modelsManager->executeQuery($phql);
  }
}

It was working nicely so far but now I've started to merge with another developer who is using additionally namespaces.

After adding namespace declaration to this class

namespace App\Models;

use Phalcon\Mvc\Model;

class Venues extends Model{
  // standard

  public function getSomethingSpecial(){
    $phql =" .... ";
    $rows = $this->modelsManager->executeQuery($phql);
  }
}

... and in references in other places to find that class in a new domain the executeQuery starts to throw strange errors either:

Exception: Model 'Venues' could not be loaded

or

Fatal error: Cannot declare class App\Models\Venues, because the name is already in use in ... /app/models/Venues.php on line X

The error type depends on the configuration inside the index.php file (bootstrap). So far all I needed to make things to work was this directory declaration:

$loader->registerDirs(
    [
        APP_PATH . '/controllers/',
        APP_PATH . '/models/',
    ]
);

but my colleague (who didn't use PHQL at all in his models) was using this configuration instead

$loader->registerNamespaces(
    [
        'App'               => 'app',
        'App\Controllers'   => APP_PATH .'/controllers',
        'App\Models'        => APP_PATH .'/models',
        'App\Helpers'       => APP_PATH .'/helpers'
    ]
);

Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated as I am out of the options.

Thanks in advance.

We've found the case trowing similar errors https://forum.phalcon.io/discussion/1427/model-phql-query-error-model-could-not-be-loaded

in my $phql I refer to Venues properly but maybe this something to consider

SELECT * FROM Venues ...

If this translates to creating or re-defining a new Venues class one of the errors would make sense. But then how to add namespace to phql?

SELECT * FROM App\Models\Venues ... ???

We've found the confirmation of this syntax under the "Namespaced models" on https://docs.phalcon.io/4.0/en/db-phql
