No route found for PUT /api/users/id - symfony

Question

I'm trying to update a record in my mysql database by calling the put method from my sencha touch 2 frontend. I'm calling this url /api/users/id but I keep getting a Symfony error:
No route found for "PUT /api/users/1
This is what I have in my routing.yml file
users:
resource: "Acme\MainBundle\Controller\UsersController"
prefix: /api
type: rest
Also, I have the putUsersAction setup in my User*s*Controller
public function putUsersAction($id, Request $request)
{
$values['birthdate'] = $request->get('birthdate');
$values['clubid'] = $request->get('clubid');
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager();
$user = $this->getDoctrine()
->getRepository('AcmeMainBundle:User')
->find($id);
$club = $this->getDoctrine()
->getRepository('AcmeMainBundle:Club')
->find($values['clubid']);
$user->setBirthdate($values['birthdate']);
$user->addClub($club);
$em->flush();
$view = View::create()
->setStatusCode(200)
->setData($user);
return $this->get('fos_rest.view_handler')->handle($view);
}
Why is Symfony telling me there's no PUT /api/users/id route?

Answer 1

At first you should debug your routing and see if the route is being registered correctly. Your posted routing snipped lacks correct intendation. It should read:
user:
resource: "Acme\MainBundle\Controller\UserController"
prefix: /api
type: rest
Afterwards you can debug your routing with the console command:
php app/console router:debug
Furthermore you can use grep ( Unix ) or findstr ( Windows ) to search the output for your route:
php app/console router:debug | grep /api
or
php app/console router:debug | findstr /api
Next make sure for the automatic routing of FOSRestBundle to work as expected to name your controller User*s*Controller and the file User*s*Controller.php.
See: FOSRestBundle Documentation
Please note that you have forgotten to call persist($user) before flushing and that you cannot call flush on your User entity but on your EntityManager. See my example below.
You can slim down your controller a lot by using DependencyInjection , the symfony2 ParamConverter, implicit resource name definition and the #View Annotation provided by the FOSRestBundle.
Your Controller would then read something like this:
<?php
namespace Acme\MainBundle\Controller;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\ParamConverter;
use JMS\DiExtraBundle\Annotation as DI;
use Acme\MainBundle\Entity\User;
use FOS\RestBundle\Controller\Annotations\View;
/**
* #DI\Service
*/
class UserController
{
/** #DI\Inject("doctrine.orm.entity_manager") */
private $em;
// ...
/**
* #View()
*/
public function putAction(User $user, Request $request)
{
$club = $this->em
->getRepository('AcmeMainBundle:Club')
->findOneById($request->get('clubid'));
$user
->setBirthdate($request->get('birthdate')
->addClub($club);
// you should add some validation here
$this->em->persist($user);
$this->em->flush();
return $user;
}
// ...
}
Explanations:
I have used the JMSDiExtraBundle's annotations. You need this bundle to make them work.
Otherwise you should declare your controller as a service and inject the EntityManager manually ( for example in your bundle's Resources/config/services.xml ) in the service container.
Declare your controller as Service with #DI\Service annotation.
Inject your EntityManager here to be be able to access it throughout the class with $this->em with the #DI\Inject annotation.
Use FOSRest's #View annotation.
Don't forget to set sensio_framework_extra.view: { annotations: false } before using this if you have the SensioFrameworkExtraBundle's in your application.
Make sure you have return $this; at the end of your User entity's setBirthdate(...) and addClub(...) functions.
Please not that i have used [JMSDiExtraBundle's property injection][3] in the example.
The bundle has to be installed in order to be used.
You might be able to slim down the controller further by using the NoxLogicMultiParamBundle.
I cannot post more than 2 links because im new over here...
please look for the following resources on google:

JMSDiExtraBundle documentation

Answer 2

user:
pattern: /api/user/{id}
defaults: { _controller: AcmeMainBundle:User:putUsers, id: 1 }
or you could use the FQCN:
defaults: { _controller: Acme\MainBundle\Controller\UserController::putUsersAction, id: 1 }
and to match only PUT request use the below code, although some browsers don't support PUT and DELETE see this link
user:
pattern: /api/user/{id}
defaults: { _controller: Acme\MainBundle\Controller\UserController::putUsers, id: 1 }
requirements:
_method: PUT
...and of course to see all of your routes, run this from your project folder:
php app/console router:debug
