Question

I am currently trying to configure a routing option in Symfony2 so /cms will route to /cms/role/view. However, the passing of defaults doesn’t seem to work properly.

/src/MyProject/CMSBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml

MyProjectCMS_specific:
pattern:  /cms/{page}/{option}
defaults: { _controller: MyProjectCMSBundle:Main:index, page: role, option: view }
requirements:
    _method: GET

/src/MyProject/CMSBundle/Controller/MainController.php

<?php
    namespace MyProject\CMSBundle\Controller;

    use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
    use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;

    class MainController extends Controller
    {
        public function indexAction($page, $option)
        {
            $response = null;

            /* Switch statement that determines the page to be loaded. */

            return $response;
        }

    }
?>

The problem is that when I try to go to `localhost/app_dev.php/cms’, it gives me the following error:

Controller "MyProject\CMSBundle\Controller\MainController::indexAction()" requires that you provide a value for the "$page" argument (because there is no default value or because there is a non optional argument after this one).
500 Internal Server Error - RuntimeException

However, if I try to visit localhost/app_dev.php/cms/role or localhost/app_dev.php/cms/role/view, it gives me the correct page. I’ve tried adding a default route to /cms, but it still gives me the same error. How is this possible and how can I fix this?

Thanks in advance.

I don’t know what is the difference between what you wrote and

    public function indexAction($page = "role", $option = "view")

but maybe you could try it and tell us.
