[Bug] Can't load routing via annotations

[javiereguiluz]

If I uncomment this in the default /etc/routing.yaml:

controllers:
    resource: ../src/Controller/
    type: annotation

And create a src/Controller/DefaultController.php with the appropriate annotations, I see this error:

---

But this should work after this change: symfony/symfony#21231

[fabpot]

The error message, while technically exact, is not the "right" one. By the ways, we have many of these issues now because we are using components individually. I've fixed some of them in 3.3, but I'm sure there are many other ones.

Here, the annotation loader is not registered as you probably don't have Doctrine annotations installed. Anyway, even when doing so, you also need SensioFrameworkExtraBundle to make it work.

Try composer req sensio/framework-extra-bundle annot and this should fix the issue.

To "fix" this, we should probably move the routing annotation loader definitions from the extra bundle to the core framework (possible as all classes are in the routing component). We can auto-register these loaders when annotations are available.

This would still need the Doctrine annotations lib, but adding a comment in the default routing.yaml would go a long way (which I will do now).

[fabpot]

There is another issue here: as we need to set minimum-dep to dev, it installs dev-master for all packages. But framework extra bundle at master is WIP and does not work with the any other dep as it's a major version. That's the kind of things that I think we cannot really fix and why Flex is really just a preview before Symfony 4.0.

[fabpot]

see symfony/symfony#22383

[stof]

@fabpot once Symfony 3.3 is stable, we won't need to set min-stability to dev though

[fabpot]

Yes, of course, I was referring to people who will test Flex in the next few weeks.

[fabpot]

Closing as we improved the error message and because 3.4 will support annotations out of the box without the need to install framework-extra bundle. We also added a note in the routing file.

[stof]

@fabpot we may want to create an annotations-pack requiring both doctrine/annotations and doctrine/cache though

[fabpot]

@stof Done in symfony/recipes#99

Should annotation routes work? I just installed symfony 4.

<?php

namespace App\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;

class PersonController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Matches /blog exactly
     *
     * @Route("/", name="blog_list")
     */
    public function list()
    {
        // ...
        return 'b';
    }

    /**
     * Matches /blog/*
     *
     * @Route("/blog/{slug}", name="blog_show")
     */
    public function show($slug)
    {
        // $slug will equal the dynamic part of the URL
        // e.g. at /blog/yay-routing, then $slug='yay-routing'

        // ...
    }
}

This does not work. I think I do ok by documentation. Composer.json :

    "type": "project",
    "license": "proprietary",

        "php": "^7.1.3",

        }
    }
}

I get error:

No route found for "GET /"

[chalasr]

@darius-v composer req annotations

[darius-v]

@chalasr - so this maybe should be in documentation? At least I cannot see: https://symfony.com/doc/current/routing.html#creating-routes

[jkobus]

Couldn't get 3.4 to work with annotations as I had the same problem. Thanks @chalasr.

[weaverryan]

I created a pr to the docs to add the install line.

Hello, I have this error:

The requested URL /message was not found on this server.

composer req annotations

annotations.yaml

controllers:
    resource: ../../src/Controller/
    type: annotation

routes.yaml

#index:
#    path: /
#    controller: App\Controller\MessageController::index

MessageController.php

<?php

namespace App\Controller;

use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;

class MessageController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @Route("/message", name="message")
     */
    public function index()
    {
        return $this->render('message/index.html.twig', [
            'controller_name' => 'MessageController',
        ]);
    }
}

php bin/console debug:router show the route:

Name Method Scheme Host Path
message ANY ANY ANY /message

But the route /message doesn't work.

Another routing problem:

"An error occurred while loading the web debug toolbar"
"The requested URL /_profiler/4029fd was not found on this server."

Note: It's a clean new Flex installation, I have followed the official doc.
Note2: I have run: composer require sensio/framework-extra-bundle, already installed.

[scandel]

Exactly the same issue than @AxelBriche here.

[scandel]

@AxelBriche, in my case I had forgotten the .htaccess, which is not created by default with symfony/flex. Posted a complete answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/49209861/2761700

[slootjes]

@scandel in that case you would see an Apache "404 Not Found", not a Symfony error page so I don't think that can be it in this case.

edit: in case of @AxelBriche it does look like an Apache error indeed :)

Can you help me ?

Folder names are capitalized make sure not to misspell them like I did in the routes and annotations definitions.
