I am hoping someone can help me debug an issue I am having with form fields not being passed to the form view in Symfony 2.3.
I have a form that I am working on that I built originally a few months ago. The form worked fine until I decided to add a couple of fields to it. I added the fields to the Entity and updated the database schema without an issue. I added the fields to the form type class and then added them to the twig template.
That is where the issue arose, I keep getting an error saying that
Method "adminFromEmail" for object "Symfony\Component\Form\FormView" does not exist in SaveAdminBundle:System:systemsettings.html.twig at line 38
So I started doing some digging. I did a dump() of the form and got the following response back:

If you look closely at the two printouts you can see that adminFromEmail and adminFromName both show up when dumping the $form variable but not after calling $form->createView() and I'm not sure why.
I am including the relevant areas of the files associated with this.
Form Class:
class SystemSettingType extends AbstractType
{
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
...
->add('adminFromEmail', 'text')
->add('adminFromName', 'text')
...
}
public function setDefaultOptions(OptionsResolverInterface $resolver)
{
$resolver->setDefaults(array(
'data_class' => 'Save\AdminBuildle\Entity\SystemSettings'
));
}
public function getName()
{
return 'systemsettings';
}
}
The Entity:
class SystemSettings
{
...
/**
* @var string
*
* @ORM\Column(name="system_from_email", type="string", length=100)
*/
private $adminFromEmail;
/**
* @var string
*
* @ORM\Column(name="system_from_name", type="string", length=100)
*/
private $adminFromName;
...
}
Note: The getters and setters are both properly formed in the Entity ( created by running doctrine:generate:entities )
The Controller:
public function listSystemSettingsAction(Request $request)
{
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$system_setting = $em->getRepository('SaveAdminBundle:SystemSettings')->find(1);
if(is_null($system_setting)){
$system_setting = new SystemSettings();
}
$form = $this->createForm(new SystemSettingsType(), $system_setting);
$form->handleRequest($request);
if($form->isValid() ){
$em->persist($system_setting);
$em->flush();
}
return $this->render('SaveAdminBundle:System:systemsettings.html.twig', array('form'=>$form->createView()));
}
The Twig Template:
...
{% block body %}
<div class="tabbed-box">
<h1>System Settings</h1>
<div class="tabbed-area">
<ul class="tabs">
<li><a href="#" class="tab active" id="tab_1" title="content_1">System Settings</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="content" id="content_1">
{{ form_start(form) }}
<fieldset>
<legend>System Settings</legend>
<ul class="form-fields">
...
<li>
{{ form_row(form.adminFromEmail) }}
</li>
<li>
{{ form_row(form.adminFromName) }}
</li>
...
</ul>
</fieldset>
<div class="button-bar">
{{ form_widget(form.updateSettings) }}
</div>
{{ form_end(form) }}
</div>
</div>
...
If anyone has an idea as to why the form fields would not be passed on to the form view, please let me know.
