Error

You cannot search for the association field 'My\SampleBundle\Entity\Invitation#user', because it is the inverse side of an association. Find methods only work on owning side associations. 500 Internal Server Error - ORMException

I am the stage which just performed the documentation.

https://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSUserBundle/blob/master/Resources/doc/adding_invitation_registration.md

The display of the bundle is normal. However, It has become an error if I submit registration form.

Any help?

EDIT:

Actually, I had set up 'inversedBy' at first.
A pre-question.
Symfony2 FOSUserBundle Invitation : 'inversedBy' mapping errors
On the surface, it does work. However, mapping errors is displayed by profiler.

My\SampleBundle\Entity\Invitation# does not contain the required 'inversedBy' attribute.

so, I changed it in response to advice. I don't know what to think of it.

Answer 1

It's just as the error says. Instead of mappedBy, you should use inversedBy on the Invitation entity and use mappedBy on the User entity for $invitation.

/** @ORM\OneToOne(targetEntity="User", inversedBy="invitation", cascade={"persist", "merge"}) */
    protected $user;

You can also overcome this problem by creating a custom repository method to find user based on invitation.

Answer 2

I ended up modifying my transformer to the following:

public function reverseTransform($value)
{
    if (null === $value || '' === $value) {
        return null;
    }

    if (!is_string($value)) {
        throw new UnexpectedTypeException($value, 'string');
    }

    $invitation = $this->entityManager
        ->getRepository('SixString\PearBundle\Entity\Invitation')
        ->findOneBy(array(
            'code' => $value,
        ));
    if($this->entityManager->getRepository('SixString\PearBundle\Entity\User')->findOneBy(array("invitation" => $invitation))){
        return null;
    }

    return $invitation;
}

I stripped out the 'user' => null but added a check to see if the invitation has already been used

Answer 3

There was solution.
https://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSUserBundle/issues/800

public function reverseTransform($value)
{
    // ...

    return $this->entityManager
        ->getRepository('My\SampleBundle\Entity\Invitation')
        ->findOneBy(array(
            'code' => $value,
            'user' => null,        <= Removing 'user' solves the issue
        ));
}
