Finally finished upgrading a massive project from 3.4 till 4.4.20 (took 1 month) DI rewrite and config can become very time consuming on big projects. Tutorial is still good @ this date!

Thanks Danny! I happy to hear you could upgrade your project. Cheers!

Hey there! Just finished migrating an old sf3 app following this guide. Awesome!

Thank you very much!

weaverryan SFCASTS Mauro Chojrin 6 years ago

Wooo! Congrats - I know it's a BIG task :)

|

Mauro Chojrin weaverryan 6 years ago

In did! I've been fighting getting out of FOSUserBundle into symfony/security (My app hadn't been updated in a LONG time :p).

Anyway, one thing I don't understand is why it doesn't provide the nice CLI tools the FOS one had... I just coded a rudimentary version of a couple myself... perhpaps and I'll create a PR for them

weaverryan SFCASTS Mauro Chojrin 6 years ago edited

Hey Mauro Chojrin!

Hmm, that's a good point. Which commands do you use? I would find a command to add/remove a role useful.. but i'm not sure what else. Change password really should be done by the user... and the create user command was never very reliable anyways (it worked until you added new required properties to your entity). Anyways, let me know - the commands are not something I'd really thought much about before.

Cheers!

|

Mauro Chojrin weaverryan 6 years ago

Well... so far I created just two I really needed: create a user and add a role to a user.

It makes sense in my context since I don't have open registration. It's more of an intranet for a very small user base so it's actually to make my own life easier :)

I'll do some research into publishing it in case someone else can benefit from it.

Cheers!

Good day. I just migrated a massive 3.x sf project to 4.4 and moved to the new flex directory structure. I moved my ./app/Resources/FOSUserBundle/ to the new location ./templates/bundles/FOSUserBundle/ and none of my template overrides are getting picked up. I'm only seeing the FOSUserBundle default templates. Would love any suggestions as to what I missed in the migration. Btw, I'm on "friendsofsymfony/user-bundle": "^2.1"

|

weaverryan SFCASTS KevinC 3 years ago

Hey @Kevin!

Congrats on the upgrade! The template overriding can be tricky... as if it doesn't work, it's hard to debug. Your path looks good to me. Other than the FOSUserBundle overrides, are your other templates loading correctly from templates/?

One other thing to look at, in 4.4, you should have a bin/console debug:twig command. One of the things it shows you are Twig loader paths. You should see something like:

@FOSUser    templates/bundles/FOSUserBundle/
@FOSUser    vendor/friendsofsymfony/user-bundle/Resources/views/

If you don't see that first entry, then yea, something is wrong... but I don't know what. Definitely clear your cache if you haven't already. Internally, when the bundle renders templates, it uses this @FOSUser prefix - example https://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSUserBundle/blob/89c18b6944adb12541f5b3b1ab39287b5336b375/Controller/RegistrationController.php#L167 - and then Symfony should register a Twig path/alias for it automatically to point to your templates/bundles/FOSUserBundle/ directory.

Let me know what you find out!

Cheers!

Ryan,
I heard from @stof over on github he straightened me out. I still had my templates down inside templates/bundles/FOSUserBundle/views/*, had to move them up out of the views subdir to get it wired up properly. Thanks for your quick responses and hopefully this helps someone else down the road.

-Kevin

KevinC weaverryan 3 years ago

Thanks for the tips Ryan!
I do see the twig loader paths as:

@FOSUser             templates/bundles/FOSUserBundle/                          
                     vendor/friendsofsymfony/user-bundle/Resources/views/

and I also see this strange one with an ! (exclamation)

@!FOSUser            vendor/friendsofsymfony/user-bundle/Resources/views/

In fact, I see this strange @! notation in many areas, could this be an issue?

@Doctrine            vendor/doctrine/doctrine-bundle/Resources/views/          
@!Doctrine           vendor/doctrine/doctrine-bundle/Resources/views/

@Twig                templates/bundles/TwigBundle/                             
                     vendor/symfony/twig-bundle/Resources/views/               
                                                                                 
@!Twig               vendor/symfony/twig-bundle/Resources/views/

I'm not able to see my dev _errors/ twig templates either. I'm unable to log in to my app atm (something about created_at column, which I'm working on now) so I can't test any other templates yet.

Thank you,
Kevin

Hello, great course! It will be very useful!
I just wanted to point out that you probably want to install maker-bundle in dev mode only.
composer require --dev maker

|

Victor SFCASTS Loïc Boutter 6 years ago

Hey Loïc!

You're totally correct! We don't need Maker in prod environment at all :) Thank you for letting us know! I just fixed the command in: https://github.com/knpunive...

Cheers!

Lets say I wanted all of my entities to extend a generic Repository (e.g. BaseRepository). My end goal is to override the generic find($id) function for all of my repositories so that if the passed in $id doesn't return a valid entity I return a new entity (with null values).

In your code example, GenusRepository extends ServiceEntityRepository and in the GenusRepository you define the Genus::class explicitly. However, in my example, I would like to have my BaseRepository receive a dynamic entity. So I added an argument:

public function __construct(RegistryInterface $registry, ClassMetadata $entityClass)

However, I get an error:

Cannot autowire service "App\BaseRepository": argument "$entityClass" of method "__construct()" references class "Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadata" but no such service exists. It cannot be auto-registered because it is from a different root namespace.

Is there a better way to do this?

|

MolloKhan SFCASTS notronwest 8 years ago edited

Hey notronwest

There is another way to do that. You can change the default repository class binded to all your entities in your "doctrine.yaml" configuration file, something like this:


doctrine:
    orm:
        entity_managers:
            default:
                default_repository_class: Repository\BaseEntityRepository (change this)

You can read more info about all configurable options here: http://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/configuration/doctrine.html

Cheers!

Do you think we should also inject Doctrine in the controller with `RegistryInterface $doctrine` instead of $this->getDoctrine()?
This is my last question hehe, great course btw

|

MolloKhan SFCASTS Trafficmanagertech 8 years ago edited

Hey Trafficmanagertech

Usually you don't need Doctrine itself, what you usually need is a repository or the entity manager, but if for some reason you need it, I believe you can inject it directly to a controller's action

Cheers!

weaverryan SFCASTS MolloKhan 8 years ago edited

This is something we talk about on the core team as well. We're still recommending $this->getDoctrine() because it exists, and you get nice auto-completion and it's easy. But as Diego said, you can now autowire repositories, and that handles many of the cases you had before.

Cheers!

Is this still the recommended way for repositories as service?


public function __construct(ManagerRegistry $registry)
{
    parent::__construct($registry, Genus::class);
}

I'm asking because the last update to the DoctrineBundle removed the alias for ManagerRegistry leaving only the RegistryInterface alias. This change was reverted in v1.9.1 due to the obvious BC break (i think Ryan was involved too).
Also the official docs for sf4 don't use the ManagerRegistry but the RegistryInterface instead.


public function __construct(RegistryInterface $registry)
{
    parent::__construct($registry, Product::class);
}

https://symfony.com/doc/current/doctrine.html#querying-for-objects-the-repository

Maybe you might want to adjust the Script to reflect this or add some sort of hint to be consistent with the documentation.

Sorry messed up the formatting, should've registered to edit it i guess.

|

weaverryan SFCASTS Joachim 8 years ago

Hey Joachim!

No worries - you were SO close to having it right (closer than most) - I cleaned it up :).

And actually, yea! We should update. I reverted that change, but *eventually* it will probably be removed. I'll add it to our list!

Cheers!
