Question

I have an entity "Support"on witch i want to link a file(PDF, DOC,...). I've followed the documentations and some videos to help, but i alway have this error :
SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1048 The field 'filename' can't be empty (null)
and i don't have any persistance in my database.
here is my entity "Support" : `

here my "newAction" to create a new "Support" from the controller: `
public function new(Request $request, $type, $salle, $matiere): Response
{
$user = $this->getUser();
if ($user->getRoles()==array('ROLE_PROF')) {
$support = new Support();
$type_de_support = $this->typedeSupportRepository->findOneBy(['intitule'=>$type]);
$salle_de_support = $this->salleRepository->findOneBy(['nom'=>$salle]);
$matiere_de_support = $this->matiereRepository->findOneBy(['intitule'=>$matiere]);
$support->setTypedeSupport($type_de_support)
->addSalle($salle_de_support)
->setMatiere($matiere_de_support);
$form = $this->createForm(SupportType::class, $support);
$form->handleRequest($request);
if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
dump($support);
$entityManager = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$entityManager->persist($support);
$entityManager->flush();
return $this->redirectToRoute('support_index',["type"=>$type,"salle"=>$salle ,"matiere"=>$matiere]);
}`
here is my 'SupportType' to generate the Form: `
namespace App\Form;
use App\Entity\Support;
use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\FileType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;
use Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\OptionsResolver;
class SupportType extends AbstractType
{
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder
->add('titre')
->add('supportFile', FileType::class)
->add('desciption')
;
}
public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
{
$resolver->setDefaults([
'data_class' => Support::class,
]);
}
}
and then the configuration File :
vich_uploader:
db_driver: orm
mappings:
support_file:
uri_prefix: /supports/teste
upload_destination: '%kernel.project_dir%/public/supports/teste'
namer: vich_uploader.namer_uniqid
the view :
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="card text-white bg-primary mb-3">
<div class="card-header text-center" style="font-size: 2.3rem;">Modifier le support</div>
<div class="card-body">
<p class="card-text">
{% if error is defined and error %}
<div class=" alert alert-danger" style="font-size: 1.3rem;">
{{error}}
</div>
{% endif %}
{% for message in app.flashes('success') %}
<div class=" alert alert-success" style="font-size: 1.7rem;">
{{message}}
</div>
{% endfor %}</p>
<form method="post" action="" accept-charset="UTF-8">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="users/send-password-reset-email">
<div class="form-group">
{{form_row(form.titre)}}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{{form_row(form.supportFile)}}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{{form_row(form.desciption)}}
</div>
{{ form_rest(form) }}
<input type="submit" value="{{ button_label|default('Save') }}" class="btn btn-success col-12">
</form>
<br><br>
</div>
</div>
</div>
despite the videos and forum i used, i've not found any solution. i need your Help
thanks :-)

Answer 1

The input "supportFile" need to be VichFileType::class and not a FileType::class
class SupportType extends AbstractType
{
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder
->add('titre')
->add('supportFile', VichFileType::class)
->add('desciption')
;
}
...
}
