THX a lot
edit : here is the code of my controller (when the form is created) and where I call it on twig :
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$invoice = $em->getRepository("MainConfigBundle:InvoiceCoach")->find($id);
$formUpload = $this->createForm('invoicesupport', $invoice)
->add('save', 'submit', array('label' => 'Enregistrer') );
if($request->getMethod() == "POST"){
$formUpload->handleRequest($request);
if($formUpload->isValid()){
$em->persist($invoice);
$em->flush();
}
return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('coach_paid_edit', array('id' => $id) ));
}
twig :
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLongTitle">Upload facture</h5>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
{{ form_start(form, {'attr': {'novalidate': 'novalidate', 'data-parsley-validate':'data-parsley-validate'}}) }}
{{ form_row(formUpload.file) }}
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Fermer</button>
{{ form_row(formUpload.save) }}
{{ form_end(form) }}
</div>
</div>

Answer 1

First and most important - did you test that "Doctrine Specific Method" are firing up ?. My guess is that they not firing up (honestly i see first time approach like this - and i don't know why should it work)
Even if - i think that approach is bad , this code should be moved to event listeners/subscribed . It shouldn't be in entity file.
Look at http://symfony.com/doc/current/doctrine/event_listeners_subscribers.html
Here you have link to my old upload solution with Trait connected to entity
