Groups Annotations don't works

[doums]

Hi,

Symfony 3.1.7 + FOSRestBundle latest version

<?php
namespace PM\ApiBundle\Controller;

...
use FOS\RestBundle\Controller\Annotations as Rest;
use FOS\RestBundle\View\View;

class ArticlesController extends FOSRestController
{
    /**
     * @ApiDoc(
     *  section="articles",
     *  resource=true,
     *  description="Get articles published"
     * )
     * @Rest\View(serializerGroups={"article"})
     * @Rest\Get("/articles")
     */
    public function getArticlesAction(Request $request)
    {
        $articles = $this->getDoctrine()
            ->getManager()
            ->getRepository('PMPlatformBundle:Article')
            ->findAllDateDesc();
        /* @var $articles Article[] */
        return $articles;
    }

Then in my Article entity I added this annotation @groups({"article"}) with the right use statement.

Whit default serializer I get :

[
	[],
	[]
]

Whit JMS serializer (bundle) I get :

{
	"0": {},
	"1": {}
}

(I have two articles in db)
it seems like the "article" group is not recognized. When I use the default serializer whithout this annotations I get a circular error.

What's wrong ?

[EDIT] Same behavior with

    /**
     * @ApiDoc(
     *  section="articles",
     *  resource=true,
     *  description="Get articles published"
     * )
     * @Rest\View()
     * @Rest\Get("/articles")
     */
    public function getArticlesAction(Request $request)
    {
        $context = new Context();
        $context->addGroup('article');
        
        $articles = $this->getDoctrine()
            ->getManager()
            ->getRepository('PMPlatformBundle:Article')
            ->findAllDateDesc();
        /* @var $articles Article[] */
        $view = $this->view($articles, 200);
        $view->setContext($context);
        
        return $view;
    } 

The response still empty.

[EDIT2] fixed with

    use JMS\Serializer\SerializationContext;
    use JMS\Serializer\SerializerBuilder;
    
    
    class ArticlesController extends FOSRestController
    {
        /**
         * @ApiDoc(
         *  section="articles",
         *  resource=true,
         *  description="Get articles published"
         * )
         * @Rest\View()
         * @Rest\Get("/articles")
         */
        public function getArticlesAction(Request $request)
        {
            $serializer = SerializerBuilder::create()->build();
    
            $articles = $this->getDoctrine()
                ->getManager()
                ->getRepository('PMPlatformBundle:Article')
                ->findAllDateDesc();
            /* @var $articles Article[] */
    
    
            return $serializer->serialize($articles, 'json', SerializationContext::create()->setGroups(array('article')));
        }

Now the groups annotations works fine.

Hi, take a look at #1662. I had a similar issue.

You can keep the default serializer of symfony. No need of JMSSerializer.

You may have forgotten to activate the annotations of serializer in config.yml (https://symfony.com/doc/current/serializer.html#using-serialization-groups-annotations)

#app/config/config.yml
framework:
    ....
    serializer: { enable_annotations: true }

It is necessary to force the view_response_listener in config.yml (http://symfony.com/doc/master/bundles/FOSRestBundle/3-listener-support.html, http://symfony.com/doc/master/bundles/FOSRestBundle/view_response_listener.html)

#app/config/config.yml
fos_rest:
    view:
        view_response_listener: 'force'

That should work !
