Symfony2+Doctrine2: Error in QueryBuilder

I am using symfony2 and doctrine2 to develop a web app.

I have a form in the app that has a dropdown that is populated from an entity. I have configured a query_builder to filter the values in the dropdown field.

public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) {
    $centerId = $this->centerId;

    $builder->add("glCode", "entity", array(
        "class" => "MyBundle:GlCode",
        "query_builder" => function(EntityRepository $er) use($centerId) {
            return $er->createQueryBuilder("g")
                ->join("g.account", "a")
                ->where("g.id NOT IN (SELECT g2.id FROM MyBundle:OtherFixedCost c JOIN MyBundle:GlCode g2)")
        }
    ));

This code is producing the error: Expected Doctrine\ORM\Query\Lexer::T_WITH, got ')'

I am trying to do with the query builder the same thing I would do with the following DQL:

SELECT g FROM MyBundle:GlCode g
JOIN g.account a
WHERE g.id NOT IN (
   SELECT g2.id FROM MyBundle:OtherFixedCost c INNER JOIN MyBundle:GlCode g2
)

I do not know if I am missing something, but apparently doesn't exist a way to use directly DQL in the form class. So, I am being forced to use QueryBuilder, but I am getting the above error.

Subqueries should join entities via alias, not directly to entity. Ie.

(SELECT g2.id FROM MyBundle:OtherFixedCost c JOIN MyBundle:GlCode g2)

try

(SELECT g2.id FROM MyBundle:OtherFixedCost c JOIN c.GlCodes g2)

or whatever the relation name between OtherFixedCost and GlCode is. Maybe this will help, I write subqueries like this all the time and no problems.

The problem is in your where clause, you are supposed to use the function notIn() instead of just writing everything on DQL. Take a look at the documentation

Maybe this and this could help, the second is actually quite similar to your query, I quote some code from there:

$qb->select('l')
   ->from('Entity\Location', 'l')
   ->where('l.state = :state')
   ->setParameter('state', 'UT')
   ->andWhere($qb->expr()->notIn('u.id', 
       $qb->select('l2.id')
          ->from('Entity\Location', 'l2')
          ->where(l2.location_type = ?1 AND l2.population < ?2)
          ->setParameters(array(1=> 1, 2 => 1000))
));

Have a look on how the subquery is built.
