symfony/UPGRADE-2.8.md

UPGRADE FROM 2.7 to 2.8

Form

• The "cascade_validation" option was deprecated. Use the "constraints" option together with the Valid constraint instead. Contrary to "cascade_validation", "constraints" must be set on the respective child forms, not the parent form.

  Before:

  $form = $this->createForm('form', $article, array('cascade_validation' => true))
      ->add('author', new AuthorType())
      ->getForm();
  

  After:

  use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\Valid;
  
  $form = $this->createForm('form', $article)
      ->add('author', new AuthorType(), array(
          'constraints' => new Valid(),
      ))
      ->getForm();
  

  Alternatively, you can set the Valid constraint in the model itself:

  use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
  
  class Article
  {
      /**
       * @Assert\Valid
       */
      private $author;
  }
  

Translator

• The getMessages() method of the Symfony\Component\Translation\Translator was deprecated and will be removed in Symfony 3.0. You should use the getCatalogue() method of the Symfony\Component\Translation\TranslatorBagInterface.

  Before:

  $messages = $translator->getMessages();
  

  After:

   $catalogue = $translator->getCatalogue($locale);
   $messages = $catalogue->all();
  
   while ($catalogue = $catalogue->getFallbackCatalogue()) {
       $messages = array_replace_recursive($catalogue->all(), $messages);
   }
