After refactoring of annotation readers, there are new defaults and the current implementation calls undefined method, because Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationReader has been refactored too. The new way should be probably requiring Doctrine\Common\Annotations\Reader interface as $reader parameter and if not present constructing the default as in Doctrine\ORM\Configuration::create :

AnnotationRegistry::registerFile(_DIR_ . '/Mapping/Driver/DoctrineAnnotations.php');

$reader = new \Doctrine\Common\Annotations\SimpleAnnotationReader();
$reader->addNamespace('Doctrine\ORM\Mapping');
$reader = new \Doctrine\Common\Annotations\CachedReader($reader, new ArrayCache());
