Doctrine, Many to Many relationship issue

Question

I have Entities: User and Catalog, related relations (as below). The user can create catalogs, and then can share them with other users. I want to search for all the directories assigned to the user (that is, those which he created himself and those that were made available to him).

public function findAllCatalogForUser($id){
    return $this->createQueryBuilder('catalog')
        ->leftJoin('catalog.users','us')
        ->innerJoin('catalog.user','u')
        ->where('u.id = :id OR us.id =:id ') 
        ->setParameters([':id'=>$id])
        ->getQuery()
        ->getResult();
}

However, when the query is executed, it receives an error:

Type of association must be one of _TO_ONE OR MANY_TO_MANY

It seems to me that the relationships between the tables are correct, but I can not make the query. How to fix this problem? Thank you in advance for your answer.

In your user entity:

/**
 * @ORM\ManyToMany(targetEntity="AppBundle\Entity\Catalog", inversedBy="users")
 * @ORM\JoinTable(name="user_catalog",
 *     joinColumns={@ORM\JoinColumn(name="user_id", referencedColumnName="id")},
 *      inverseJoinColumns={@ORM\JoinColumn(name="catalog_id", referencedColumnName="id")} )
 */
protected $catalogs;

In your catalog entity:

 /**
 * @ORM\ManyToMany(targetEntity="AppBundle\Entity\User", mappedBy="catalogs")
 */
protected $users;
