Symfony2.4 form 'This form should not contain extra fields' error

Question

I'm trying to build app based on REST api ang AngularJS. I've been following this tutorial http://npmasters.com/2012/11/25/Symfony2-Rest-FOSRestBundle.html but have to change some details ( depreciated methods ) and right now when I post to create new entity I get 'This form should not contain extra fields' error.

class MainController extends Controller
{
    public function indexAction(Request $request)
    {
        $form = $this->createForm(new TaskType(),null,array('action' => $this->generateUrl('post_tasks').'.json'))
                ->add('submit','submit');


        $note_form = $this->createForm(new NoteType())
                ->add('submit','submit');

        return $this->render('MyBundle:Main:index.html.twig',
                array(
                    'form'=>$form->createView(),
                    'note_form'=>$note_form->createView(),
                )
        );
    }
}

my TaskType form:

 public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        $builder

            ->add('timeStart','datetime',array(
                'date_widget' => 'single_text',
                'time_widget' => 'single_text',
                'date_format' => 'yyyy-MM-dd',
                'data' => new \DateTime('now')
            ))

            ->add('timeStop','datetime',array(
                'date_widget' => 'single_text',
                'time_widget' => 'single_text',
                'date_format' => 'yyyy-MM-dd',
                'data' => new \DateTime('now')
            ))

            ->add('project')  
            ->add('descriptionTask')
            ->add('isCompleted',null,array('required' => false))  
            ->add('isVisible',null,array('required' => false))
        ;
    }

right now in my view I'm rendering only one form BUT I'M IN THE TEST STAGE:

{%extends 'MyBundle::layout.html.twig' %}

{%block content %}

<div ng-view></div>

{{ form(form) }}

{% endblock %}

AND this is the REST controller which is supposed to flush given entity:

public function cpostAction(Request $request)
{
 $entity = new Task();
 $form = $this->createForm(new TaskType(), $entity);
 $form->handleRequest($request);

 if ($form->isValid()) {

     $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
     $em->persist($entity);
     $em->flush();

     return $this->redirectView(
             $this->generateUrl(
                 'get_organisation',
                 array('id' => $entity->getId())
                 ),
             Codes::HTTP_CREATED
             );
 }

 return array(
     'form' => $form,
 );
}

WEIRD THING: when I put the same code from REST controller to MainController, then form is validated and new entity is being flushed, but somehow REST controller throws error...

Answer 1

If you want the validator to ignore additional fields you should try passing 'allow_extra_fields' => true as an option to the FormBuilder.
