Doctrine

doctrine.php

//So this is how it looks like in composer, so I do believe I have the latest version:
        "doctrine/orm": "~2.5@dev",
        "doctrine/common": "~2.5@dev",
        "doctrine/dbal": "dev-retry-logic as 2.5",
        "doctrine/doctrine-bundle": "~1.2",
        "doctrine/migrations": "~1.0@dev",
        "doctrine/doctrine-migrations-bundle": "~2.1@dev",

//My issue is with the following code that generates the error Fatal error: 
Call to undefined method Doctrine\ORM\QueryBuilder::insert() 

<?php
    $queryBuilder = $em->createQueryBuilder()
        ->insert('product_browse_view')
        ->values(
            array(
                'productId' => '?',
            )
        )
        ->setParameter(0, $id);

// Ideas what I am doing wrong is very helpful! Thank you.

I came with the same problem. After investigation i figured out that the 2.5 Patch of doctrine/dbal recieved the insert() method, but not the 2.5 Patch of doctrine/orm (they have both own QueryBuilder classes). So the method is still not avaible through your code above.

But instead to use the insert method of doctrine/dbal, make use of "Persisting entities": http://docs.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/latest/reference/working-with-objects.html#persisting-entities

1. You need a ORM mapped DB
2. Create getters & setters of your needed tables
3. Then code:

// The entity to insert
$user = new User(); 
// Properties / db cols
$user->setName('Mr.Right'); 
$user->setGender('m');
// Register the query
$em->persist($user);
// Execute all registered queries
$em->flush();
