Symfony3 - Losing my form data

[theOtherMarino]

Hello,

After form submission, I can’t retrieve the data of my form. When I var_dump the request, they are not listed.

Here is the log excerpt corresponding to the request :

[2016-09-09 17:16:47] request.INFO: Matched route “{route}”. {“route”:“TasksForm”,“route_parameters”:{“_controller”:“AppBundle\Controller\TasksFormController::tasksFormAction”,“_route”:“TasksForm”},“request_uri”:“http://localhost:8000/app_dev.php/TasksForm",“method”:"POST”}
[2016-09-09 17:16:47] security.INFO: Populated the TokenStorage with an anonymous Token.
[2016-09-09 17:16:47] request.INFO: Matched route “{route}”. {“route”:“TaskCreated”,“route_parameters”:{“_controller”:“AppBundle\Controller\TaskCreatedController::taskCreatedAction”,“_route”:“TaskCreated”},“request_uri”:“http://localhost:8000/app_dev.php/TaskCreated",“method”:"GET”}
[2016-09-09 17:16:47] security.INFO: Populated the TokenStorage with an anonymous Token.

tasksFormAction uses a POST, but taskCreatedAction receives a GET…

Thanks in advance,

MC

Damn me… Everything made sense reading the doc. Here is the correct TasksFormController.php :

<?php
// src/AppBundle/Controller/TaskFormController.php
namespace AppBundle\Controller;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\TextType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\DateType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\SubmitType;

use AppBundle\Entity\TaskSetClass;
use AppBundle\Form\TasksFormType;

class TasksFormController extends Controller
	{
	public function tasksFormAction(Request $request)
		{
		$taskSet = new TaskSetClass();
		$TasksFormType=new TasksFormType();
		$form = $this->createForm(TasksFormType::class, $taskSet);
		$form->handleRequest($request);
		if($form->isSubmitted())
			{
			if($form->isValid())
				{
				$taskName=$form->get('taskName')->getData();
				$taskDueDate=$form->get('taskDueDate')->getData();

				$taskSet->setTaskName($taskName);
				$taskSet->setTaskDueDate($taskDueDate);
				
				$entityManager=$this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
				$entityManager->persist($taskSet);
				$entityManager->flush();
				
				return new Response('Task '.$taskName.' has been created on '.json_encode($taskDueDate).'.');
				}
			else
				{
				$message='Not valid '.json_encode($form->getData());
				}
			}
		else
			{
			$message='Not submitted ';
			}
		return $this->render('tasksForm.html.twig', array('form' => $form->createView(),'message'=>$message,));
		}
	}
