I have created Employee module. same as customer module. i have copied all files from vendor/magento/module-customer to app/code/Magento/Employee. I replaced customer with employee. but it shows an error:

'InvalidArgumentException' with message 'Constant name is expected.

and

[InvalidArgumentException]
There are no commands defined in the "setup" namespace.

My module.xml is in app/Code/Magento/Employee/etc folder

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd">
<module name="Magento_Employee" setup_version="2.0.6">
    <sequence>
        <module name="Magento_Eav"/>
        <module name="Magento_Directory"/>
    </sequence>
</module>
</config>

Please anyone tell me how can i solve it?

My di.xml

  • Um...yeah. That's not going to be so easy. What exactly are you trying to get out? You should build it as a custom ORM model and module.

I think this constant in di.xml:

Magento\Employee\Api\EmployeeMetadataInterface::ENTITY_TYPE_Employee

should be

Magento\Employee\Api\EmployeeMetadataInterface::ENTITY_TYPE_EMPLOYEE
3

mr.max,

Here is a solution for you:

  1. Check, if you replaced the files taking into account lowercase and uppercase letters ("customer" -> "employee", "Customer" -> "Employee" etc.)
  2. Check, if you changed file names and folder names, where there is "Customer" word.
  3. Make sure you haven't changed any other words "Customer". For example, in the file

    vendor/magento/module-customer/Controller/Adminhtml/Index/MassSubscribe.php
    

    there is a code

    $this->subscriberFactory->create()->subscribeCustomerById($customerId);
    

    That means that the method subscribeCustomerById is called from "module-newsletter" module (Magento\Newsletter\Model\Subscriber). And if you change its name to subscribeEmployeeById, you will get errors.
