Auto reconnect on Doctrine MySql has gone away exceptions on doctrine/dbal >=2.3,<2.6-dev.
$ composer require facile-it/doctrine-mysql-come-back ^1.6In order to use DoctrineMySQLComeBack you have to set wrapperClass and driverClass connection params.
You can choose how many times Doctrine should be able to reconnect, setting x_reconnect_attempts driver option. Its value should be an int.
An example of configuration at connection instantiation time:
use Doctrine\DBAL\Configuration;
use Doctrine\DBAL\DriverManager;
$config = new Configuration();
//..
$connectionParams = array(
'dbname' => 'mydb',
'user' => 'user',
'password' => 'secret',
'host' => 'localhost',
// [doctrine-mysql-come-back] settings
'wrapperClass' => 'Facile\DoctrineMySQLComeBack\Doctrine\DBAL\Connection',
'driverClass' => 'Facile\DoctrineMySQLComeBack\Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOMySql\Driver',
'driverOptions' => array(
'x_reconnect_attempts' => 3
)
);
$conn = DriverManager::getConnection($connectionParams, $config);
//..An example of yaml configuration on Symfony 2 projects:
# Doctrine example Configuration

return [
'doctrine' => [
'connection' => [
'orm_default' => [
'driverClass' => \Facile\DoctrineMySQLComeBack\Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOMySql\Driver::class,
'wrapperClass' => \Facile\DoctrineMySQLComeBack\Doctrine\DBAL\Connection::class,
'params' => [
'host' => 'localhost',

];To force a reconnection try after a long running task you can call
$em->getConnection()->refresh();before performing any other operation different from SELECT.
Instead, in case your next query will be a SELECT, reconnection will be automagically done.
From v1.6 automagically reconnection is enabled also during $em->getConnection()->beginTransaction() calls,
and this works also during simple $em->flush(), if out of a previous transaction.
Thanks to Dieter Peeters and his proposal on DBAL-275. Check it out if you are using doctrine/dbal <2.3.
