Symfony 2 forms with validation groups, errors map

问题:

Never had this problem before.

• Fill the form with a phone, leaving lastname blank
• Submit the form (and the validation groups become Default and Create)
• The error "Last name is required." is mapped on the wrong $phone field, while should be mappend to $lastName itself property

Can you reproduce the same issue?

$phone property is in the Create validation group, while $phone in Default implicit group:

class User
{
    /**
     * @Assert\NotBlank(groups={"Create"}, message="Last name is required.")
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $lastName;

    /**
     * @Assert\NotBlank(message="Phone is required.")
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $phone;
}

I determine the validation groups based on submitted data:

class UserType extends AbstractType
{
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        $builder->add('lastName', 'text');
        $builder->add('phone', 'text');
        $builder->add('submit', 'submit');
    }

    public function setDefaultOptions(OptionsResolverInterface $resolver)
    {
        $resolver->setDefaults([
            'required' => false,
            'data_class' => 'Acme\HelloBundle\Entity\User',
            'validation_groups' => function (FormInterface $form) {    
                return null === $form->getData()->getId()
                    ? ['Default', 'Create']
                    : ['Default', 'Edit'];
            }
        ]);
    }
}

回答1:

Instead of using a compiler pass, you can edit config.yml to set the API to 2.4 :

validation:
    enable_annotations: true
    api: 2.4 # default is auto which sets API 2.5 BC

When the bug is resolved in 2.5, just remove the api setting and you will get back to 2.5 backward compatible.

Warning there is a bug with validation API 2.5

Took a couple of hours but I found it! Actually is an issue (https://github.com/symfony/symfony/issues/11003) for the new validator API 2.5.

Temporary solution (compiler pass):

use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Compiler\CompilerPassInterface;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerBuilder;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Validation;

class SetValidatorBuilderApiVersionWorkaround implements CompilerPassInterface
{
    /**
     * {@inheritDoc}
     */
    public function process(ContainerBuilder $container)
    {
        // TODO remove when https://github.com/symfony/symfony/issues/11003
        // is fixed (validation errors added to the wrong field)
        $container->getDefinition('validator.builder')
            ->addMethodCall('setApiVersion', [Validation::API_VERSION_2_4]);
    }
}
