FOSJSRoutingBundle : "Route xxx does not exist"

Question

I'm facing a really weird problem with FOSJSRoutingBundle :

First of all, here is my configuration : I'm working on Symfony 2.0.23 and with JQuery, on Windows 7 64 bits with a WAMP (Apache 2.4.2 and PHP 5.4.3). I've done all the settings from the FOSJSRoutingBundle's github and haved exposed my routes ( almost all the related problems I could find by googling (on FOSJSRoutingBundle's github,here and on different forums) were because people have not exposed their routes, but I tried php app/console fos:js-routing:debug and I do see my routes). The js is added to the layout (code of the layout at the end).

Trying to generate url for routes in js, at the beginning I wanted to generate two different routes but for test I created the js code below :

    //Code inside this function is working
    $("select").change(function () {
      param=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;
      test1=Routing.generate('myBundle_step3', { myParam: param });
      alert(test1);
      window.location=Routing.generate('myBundle_step2');
    });
    //Code inside this one is also working
    $('input[type="checkbox"]').change(function() {
      test=Routing.generate('myBundle_step2');
    }).change();
    //This is not working
    test=Routing.generate('myBundle_step2');
    alert(test);

With this code, I get the javaScript error "The route myBundle_step2 does not exist". Though the first part still works (alert gives me the link created and the redirection goes well). If I remove the second function, I do not get the Javascript error anymore.

If in the second function I replace step2 by step3, the error becomes "The route myBundle_step3 does not exist". I tried to clear the cache and to run php app/console asset:install --symlink again, but no results.

Here is the controller corresponding code (the real code is a bit long and I don't think it's relevant, if you think so, I could put it anyways :

    namespace my\Bundle\Controller;
    class IndividuController extends Controller
    {
      public function step2Action() {
        Some code
      }
      public function step3Action($myParam) {
        Some code
      }
    }

The routing.yml config file relative to the bundle :

    myBundle_step2:
      pattern: /step/2
      defaults: {_controller: myBundle:Individu:step2}
      options:
        expose: true
    myBundle_step3:
      pattern: /step/3/{myParam}
      defaults: {_controller: myBundle:Individu:step3}
      options:
        expose: true

The app/config/routing.yml file :

    fos_js_routing:
      resource: "@FOSJsRoutingBundle/Resources/config/routing/routing.xml"

    myBundle:
      resource: "@myBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
      prefix:   /

The layout's relevant informations :

     <!-- jQuery via Google + local fallback, see h5bp.com -->
        <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js">    </script>
        <script>window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"><\/script>')</script>
           {% javascripts 'bootstrap/js/bootstrap.js'
                        'bundles/fosjsrouting/js/router.js'
                        'bundles/crrisuaps/js/suaps.js' %}
               <script type="text/javascript" src="{{ asset_url }}"></script>
           {% endjavascripts %}
        <script src="{{ path('fos_js_routing_js', {"callback": "fos.Router.setData"}) }}"></script>
       </body>
    </html>

Result of php app/console router:debug (I left only the relevant informations + I left the undefined variable notice just in case, it's a notice I got since I added this library, still the library works and I do not think the problem could come from here :

Edit : Also, don't know if it's relevant but when I try 'php app/console fos:js-routing:debug myBundle_step2' I get the following php error :

Answer 1

I also had this problem. Setting the options.expose parameter on the routing configuration solved it for me.

routing.yml

cart_edit:
    pattern:  /Cart/edit
    defaults: { _controller: CartCartBundle:Default:cart_edit }
    options:
        expose: true

my.js

var url = Routing.generate('cart_edit');
$.post(url, function(data) {
      //do somthing
});

Change as needed. Hope this will solve your problem.

Answer 2

I had the same issue and the problem was in my config file. Try checking for this:

# app/config/config.yml
fos_js_routing:
    routes_to_expose: [ myBundle_step2, myBundle_step3, ... ]

Answer 3

Just for completeness: it is also possible to use annotations (options={"expose"=true}) as explained in the documentation:

// src/AppBundle/Controller/DefaultController.php

/**
 * @Route("/foo/{id}/bar", options={"expose"=true}, name="my_route_to_expose")
 */
public function indexAction($foo) {
    // ...
}

This also works for routes sets at controller level (example from one of my controllers):

/**
 * Channel controller.
 *
 * @Route("account/{account}/todos", options={"expose"=true})
 * @ParamConverter("account", class="AppBundle:Account", options={
 *     "repository_method" = "findOneById",
 *     "mapping": {"account": "id"},
 *     "map_method_signature" = true
 * })
 */
class TodoListController extends Controller
