Symfony2 Entity Annotation Assert/Callback method not invoked

annotations, assert, callback, symfony

Solution

The solution. The problem was in used validator groups. The assert validator has to be a part of that group, or else it wont trigger. This piece of code in form class file was the culprit:

public function setDefaultOptions(OptionsResolverInterface $resolver)
{
    $vg = array('my-profile');


    $resolver->setDefaults(array(
        'validation_groups' => $vg
    ));
}

changing the line with assert to

* @Assert\Callback(methods={"isValidFirma"}, groups={"my-profile"})

did the trick.

Problem

I've got a problem with `Assert/Callback` validation. I used this as a sample for my code, but Symfony just ignores the validation function. This is the relevant part of my entity code ``` namespace Vendor\Bundle\Entity; use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM; use Gedmo\Mapping\Annotation as Gedmo; // gedmo annotations use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert; use Symfony\Component\Validator\ExecutionContext; /** * @Assert\Callback(methods={"isValidFirma"}) * @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="Vendor\Bundle\Entity\UserProfileRepository") * @ORM\Table(name="user_profile") */ class UserProfile { /** * @ORM\Id * @ORM\Column(type="integer") * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO") */ protected $id; //... public function isValidFirma(ExecutionContext $context){ $context->addViolationAtSubPath('Firma', 'Company name must be present', array(), null); // as of sf 2.3 use addViolationAt() instead [reference: https://github.com/propelorm/PropelBundle/issues/234 ] } //... } ``` `isValidFirma` is never invoked. I tried validation.yml file instead of annotation as well, no success. I cleared the cache about fifty times, after every change, didn't help either. What could be the problem?
