Doctrine not working eager loading

gistfile1.aw

<?php 

$query = $em->createQuery('SELECT t FROM JazzyTransactionBundle:MoneyTransaction t WHERE t.sender = :user')->setParameter('user', $user);
$query->setFetchMode("JazzyTransactionBundle:MoneyTransaction", "sender", "EAGER");
$transactions = $query->execute();



WORKING:

<?php 

$query = $em->createQuery('SELECT t FROM JazzyTransactionBundle:MoneyTransaction t WHERE t.sender = :user')->setParameter('user', $user);
$query->setFetchMode("Jazzy\TransactionBundle\Entity\MoneyTransaction", "sender", \Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadata::FETCH_EAGER);
$transactions = $query->execute();

Yeah, even 3 years later I came across this same issue. setFetchMode() apparently requires a fully classified class name (FQCN) and not an alias shortcut - similar to the targetEntity attribute of association configuration.

Frankly I don't know why they bothered adding aliases for namespaces if you can't use them in half the places Doctrine expects a class name.

"EAGER" is not same as \Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadata::FETCH_EAGER

@vetalt: Thank you, Sir! This trolled me for a littel while.
