Answer 1

I've encountered this error also. It's just a simple typo in one of your Entity annotations. A quick check of your entities will reveal something like this:

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

Taking into account the line number, it's probably somewhere in one of your entity association mappings.

Answer 2

Just as cantera says, check the curly braces.

Here are some of symfony annotation errors:

The comma

• Sample Code: @ORM\Column(name="column_name" type="string" length=20 nullable=false)
• Error Message: [Syntax Error] Expected Doctrine\Common\Annotations\DocLexer::T_CLOSE_PARENTHESIS, got 'type' at position 62 in property ...

Using the wrong type

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