Symfony2 redirect for event listener?

Question

I have a kernel event listener setup (kernel.controller) to redirect the user if he's not logged in. The event listener is succesfully getting called, however I'm having trouble figuring out how to redirect. Here's what I got:

$cont = $event->getController('testpost'); $event->setResponse($cont); 

Which gives me the error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Event\FilterControllerEvent::setResponse()  

Answer 1

If you wanna redirect from FilterControllerEvent you should use this one:

public function onKernelController(FilterControllerEvent $event) {     // do something     $event->setController(function() use ($redirectUrl) {         return new RedirectResponse($redirectUrl);     }); } 

Answer 2

You can't set a response to a FilterControllerEvent object. You need to listen for the kernel.request event because its GetResponseEvent object has the setResponse() method:

$route = 'route_name';  if ($route === $event->getRequest()->get('_route')) {     return; }  $url = $this->router->generate($route); $response = new RedirectResponse($url); $event->setResponse($response);
