Widget not rendered when added as a child inside A2lix TranslationsType in EasyAdmin

[DennisdeBest]

Hello,

I have been trying out the bundle and so far it has been great.

I ran into an error when trying to add an Image inside a TranslationsType inside my EasyAdmin forms. The field gets rendered as a text input. The widget transformations are not applied.

This is how the field is added :

<?php

namespace App\Controller\Admin;

use A2lix\TranslationFormBundle\Form\Type\TranslationsType;
use App\Entity\Book;
use App\Form\BookLinkType;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Config\Assets;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Config\Crud;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Context\AdminContext;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Controller\AbstractCrudController;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Dto\EntityDto;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Config\KeyValueStore;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Field\BooleanField;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Field\CollectionField;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Field\Field;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Field\IdField;
use EasyCorp\Bundle\EasyAdminBundle\Field\TextField;
use JoliCode\MediaBundle\Bridge\EasyAdmin\Field\MediaChoiceField;
use JoliCode\MediaBundle\Bridge\EasyAdmin\Form\Type\MediaChoiceType;
use Symfony\Component\Asset\PathPackage;
use Symfony\Component\Asset\VersionStrategy\JsonManifestVersionStrategy;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;

class BookCrudController extends AbstractCrudController
{
    public static function getEntityFqcn(): string
    {
        return Book::class;
    }


// from https://mediabundle.jolicode.com/bridges/easy-admin/#media-selector-widget does not work in this case
    public function configureAssets(Assets $assets): Assets
    {
        // this should not be needed, but there is a bug in EA with assets in nested forms
        // see https://github.com/EasyCorp/EasyAdminBundle/issues/6127
        $package = new PathPackage(
            '/bundles/jolimediaeasyadmin',
            new JsonManifestVersionStrategy(__DIR__ . '/../../../public/bundles/jolimediaeasyadmin/manifest.json'),
        );

        return $assets
            ->addCssFile($package->getUrl('joli-media-easy-admin.css'))
            ->addJsFile($package->getUrl('joli-media-easy-admin.js'))
            ;
    }

    public function configureCrud(Crud $crud): Crud
    {
        return $crud->setEntityLabelInSingular('Book')
                    ->setEntityLabelInPlural('Books');
    }

    public function configureFields(string $pageName): iterable
    {
        yield IdField::new('id')->hideOnForm();
        yield MediaChoiceField::new('dummy', 'dummy')
            ->onlyOnForms()
            ->setFormTypeOption('required', false)
            ->setFormTypeOption('mapped', false)
            ->addCssClass('d-none')
        ;
    }


    public function createEditFormBuilder(EntityDto $entityDto, KeyValueStore $formOptions, AdminContext $context): FormBuilderInterface
    {
        $formBuilder = parent::createEditFormBuilder($entityDto, $formOptions, $context);
        $formBuilder->add('translations', TranslationsType::class, $this->translationsOptions());
        return $formBuilder;
    }

    private function translationsOptions(): array
    {
        return [
            'translatable_class' => Book::class,
            'children_excluded'  => ['id', 'translatable', 'locale'],
            'builder'            => static function (FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $classProperties): void {
                $builder->add('image', MediaChoiceType::class, ['required' => false, 'label' => 'Cover']);
            },
        ];
    }
}

I tried using the configureAssets override from the documentation : https://mediabundle.jolicode.com/bridges/easy-admin/#media-selector-widget but this did not solve the issue for me.

However just adding a dummy field to my controller fixed the issue :

        yield MediaChoiceField::new('dummy', 'dummy')
            ->onlyOnForms()
            ->setFormTypeOption('required', false)
            ->setFormTypeOption('mapped', false)
            ->addCssClass('d-none')
        ;

Not yet completely sure how this works and the configureAssets override did not.

I am using :

• php 8.5
• symfony 8.0
• a2lix/translation-form-bundle 4.0.3
• easycorp/easyadmin-bundle 5.0.4
• jolicode/media-bundle 0.3.2

Thanks

Also having both the dummy field and the configureAssets broke the "Add media" button of the widget, removing the configureAssetts and keeping the dummy field makes everything work
