sonata block : Could not load type "entity"

[Stephane Alamichel]

Dear all,

I have an issue that i do not understand how to figure out.

I would like to put a form view into a blockService to put on the dashboard.

I have a formType as this :

class GoogleMapType extends AbstractType {

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

...

->add('adoptant', 'entity', array(

'class' => 'acmeBundle:Persons\Adoptant',

'query_builder' => function (AdoptantRepository $ar) {

return $ar->queryFindAll();

},

'multiple' => true,

'required' => false,

))

...

My block Service is like this

class GoogleMapsBlockService extends BaseBlockService {

    public function __construct($type, $templating) {

        $this->type = $type;

        $this->templating = $templating;

    }

    public function getName() {

        return 'googleMaps';

    }

    public function getDefaultSettings() {

        return array();

    }

    public function validateBlock(ErrorElement $errorElement, BlockInterface $block) {

        

    }

    public function buildEditForm(FormMapper $formMapper, BlockInterface $block) {

        

    }

    public function execute(BlockContextInterface $blockContext, Response $response = null) {

        $settings = array_merge($this->getDefaultSettings(), $blockContext->getBlock()->getSettings());

        $formFactory = Forms::createFormFactory();

        $form = $formFactory->create(new GoogleMapType());

        return $this->renderResponse('AcmeBundle:Block:GoogleMaps.html.twig', array(

                    'block' => $blockContext->getBlock(),

                    'settings' => $settings,

                    'form' => $form->createView(),

                        ), $response);

    }

}

When I "plug" the blockservice into sonata admin configuration i have this error

"An exception has been thrown during the rendering of a template ("Could not load type "entity"") in SonataAdminBundle:Core:dashboard.html.twig at line 24."

It's work correctly if there are not 'entity' type into the formType.

Please do you know how to push formtype with entity type ?

Regards

ps : thanks a lot for this project !

Which symfony version are you using? Because could be "EntityType::class" instead of "entity"

An exception has been thrown during the rendering of a template ("Could not load type "EntityType::class"")

​And you've added "use Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\Form\Type\EntityType​;" ?

My forms works perfectly when I used standard controller/view rendering.

But when I want to put into a block service, everything goes wrong.

It seems that the error is trigger when " $formFactory->create(new GoogleMapType());" is evaluated

public function execute(BlockContextInterface $blockContext, Response $response = null) {

        $settings = array_merge($this->getDefaultSettings(), $blockContext->getBlock()->getSettings());

        $formFactory = Forms::createFormFactory();

        $form = $formFactory->create(new GoogleMapType());

        dump($form);// HERE NOT TRIGGERED

        return $this->renderResponse('ApparRefugeBundle:Block:GoogleMaps.html.twig', array(

                    'block' => $blockContext->getBlock(),

                    'settings' => $settings,

                    'form' => $form->createView(),

                        ), $response);

    }

I just want to check as I see you are trying to use the GoogleMapType in the current namespace, you have a use statement for the appropriate Type?

A different approach if specifically complaining about the form type could be to create it as a service.
