Route #Method annotation doesn't seem to get respected when matching routes - symfony

Question

I understand when allowing similarly accessible routes, that the order of the routes matter.
Where I'm confused is why when submitting a DELETE request to this route, does it match to the GET route, instead of ignoring it and trying the matched method one below it?
/**
* #Route("/{game}")
* #Method({"GET"})
*/
public function single(Request $request, GameSerializer $gameSerializer, Game $game) {
$out = $gameSerializer->bind($game);
return new JsonResponse($out);
}
/**
* #Route("/{game}")
* #Method({"DELETE"})
*/
public function remove(Request $request, Game $game) {
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$em->remove($game);
$em->flush();
return new JsonResponse([], 200);
}
Full disclosure
I understand why it matches the top most route based on strictly patterns
I dont understand why the access method is getting ignored when doing so
So, just to test, I adjusted to move the DELETE based route up above the GET route
/**
* #Route("/{game}")
* #Method({"DELETE"})
*/
public function remove(Request $request, Game $game) {
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$em->remove($game);
$em->flush();
return new JsonResponse([], 200);
}
/**
* #Route("/{game}")
* #Method({"GET"})
*/
public function single(Request $request, GameSerializer $gameSerializer, Game $game) {
$out = $gameSerializer->bind($game);
return new JsonResponse($out);
}
only.. for this to happen when I tried getting an existing non-test record by performing a basic operation of visiting the url in a browser (so, GET)
and oh boy, did it ever delete that record.
Why is the Access Method being ignored?

Answer 1

First of all, careful of which SensioFrameworkExtraBundle version you are using because the #Method annotation from SensioFrameworkExtraBundle has been removed in latest version. Instead, the Symfony #Route annotation defines a methods option to restrict the HTTP methods of the route:
*
* #Route("/show/{id}", methods={"GET","HEAD"})
*
But in your case, if you're using HTML forms and HTTP methods other than GET and POST, you'll need to include a _method parameter to fake the HTTP method.
See How to Change the Action and Method of a Form for more information.

I think you have to add route name and it must be unique.
Try with following way:
/**
* #Route("/{game}",name="api_remove")
* #Method({"DELETE"})
*/
public function remove(Request $request, Game $game) {
...
}
/**
* #Route("/{game}",name="single_remove")
* #Method({"GET"})
*/
public function single(Request $request, GameSerializer $gameSerializer, Game $game) {
...
}
