Symfony2 Gedmo Loggable crashes out on flush call

Question

I have a Symfony2 project, and I'm having a problem with Gedmo's Loggable extension.

I have a form which is being constructed and submitted properly, passes validation, yet when the $EntityManager->flush() gets called to add the form data to the database (MySQL with Doctrine), I get the following:

FatalErrorException: Error: Call to undefined method Path\To\My\Entity\Class::setAction() 
in /path/to/vendor/gedmo/doctrine-extensions/lib/Gedmo/Loggable/LoggableListener.php line 225

LoggableListner.php line 188 is:

    foreach ($ea->getScheduledObjectInsertions($uow) as $object) {
        $this->createLogEntry(self::ACTION_CREATE, $object, $ea);
    }

and the full function surrounding the foreach on line 188 is:

public function onFlush(EventArgs $eventArgs)
{
    $ea = $this->getEventAdapter($eventArgs);
    $om = $ea->getObjectManager();
    $uow = $om->getUnitOfWork();

    foreach ($ea->getScheduledObjectInsertions($uow) as $object) {
        $this->createLogEntry(self::ACTION_CREATE, $object, $ea);
    }
    foreach ($ea->getScheduledObjectUpdates($uow) as $object) {
        $this->createLogEntry(self::ACTION_UPDATE, $object, $ea);
    }
    foreach ($ea->getScheduledObjectDeletions($uow) as $object) {
        $this->createLogEntry(self::ACTION_REMOVE, $object, $ea);
    }
}

LoggableListner.php line 225 is:

        /** @var \Gedmo\Loggable\Entity\LogEntry $logEntry */
        $logEntry = $logEntryMeta->newInstance();

My entities have the standard Symfony2 annotations for Loggable, ie:

use Gedmo\Mapping\Annotation as Gedmo;

/**
* @Gedmo\Loggable(logEntryClass="My\Bundles\ThisBundle\ThisEntity")
*/

/**
* @ORM\Column(type="string", length=30, nullable=false)
* @Assert\Length(max=30)
* @Gedmo\Versioned
*/
protected $name;

And I have no idea where the setAction() call is coming from. There is nothing in my class named "action" and there is no function or method such as getAction(), addAction(), removeAction(), etc. (Nor should there be from my understanding.)

Thanks for any insight and assistance!

Answer 1

So, after carefully walking the stack trace and looking at the Loggable functions, it dawned on me that the error was clearly from loggable attempting to implement a function from one of my entities, which told me that somewhere I had a class somewhere it shouldn't be (as I wanted Loggable to use its own classes and functions, not mine).

I therefore changed

/**
* @Gedmo\Loggable(logEntryClass="My\Bundles\ThisBundle\ThisEntity")
*/

to just

/**
* @Gedmo\Loggable
*/ 

which meant it used its own class to carry out the logging and - voila. No more error.
