Question

I have a problem with the routing in Symfony2.

Actually I downloaded the latest release and run it on my server. The demo works fine.

Now I want to do the following:
I want to create a TestController, this controller should have:

• an index view
• a view like hello world
• a view where i can pass 2 parameters

So I started to create a new controller in the src\Acme\DemoBundle\Controller folder called TestController. Here is the code:

<?php

namespace Acme\DemoBundle\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RedirectResponse;
use Acme\DemoBundle\Form\ContactType;

// these import the "@Route" and "@Template" annotations
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Template;

class TestController extends Controller
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        return array();
    }

    public function hello2Action($name1, $name2)
    {
        return array();
    }

    public function helloAction()
    {
        return array();
    }
}

Then I created 3 views in a new folder src\Acme\DemoBundle\Resources\views\Test called hello.html.twig, index.html.twig and hello2.html.twig

Both of them have a content like this

{% extends "AcmeDemoBundle::layout.html.twig" %}

{% block title "Symfony - Demos" %}

{% block content_header '' %}

{% block content %}
    foo!!!
{% endblock %}

Finally I edited the routing.dev.yml and added somthing like this:

_name1:
    resource: "@AcmeDemoBundle/Controller/TestController.php"
    type:     annotation
    prefix:   /test

_name2:
    resource: "@AcmeDemoBundle/Controller/TestController.php"
    type:     annotation
    prefix:   /test/hello

_name3:
    resource: "@AcmeDemoBundle/Controller/TestController.php"
    type:     annotation
    prefix:   /test/hello2/{name1}&{name2}

When i want to run the test controller i get:

No route found for “GET /test/”

What is wrong?
Is it possible to have one view for two controller functions? (like hello() and hello($foo))?

You can also do this:

1. In routing_dev.yml, make sure you have this:

    _main:
        resource: routing.yml
   

2. In routing.yml, add something like this:

      AcmeDemoBundle:
         resource: "@AcmeDemoBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
         prefix:   /test
   

   You can select the prefix you want in accessing that particular bundle.

3. In Acme/DemoBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml you can now add your route patterns.

     name1:
         pattern: /
         defaults: { _controller: AcmeDemoBundle:Test:index }
   
     name2:
         pattern: /hello
         defaults: { _controller: AcmeDemoBundle:Test:hello }
   
     name3:
         pattern: /hello2/{name1}/{name2}
         defaults: { _controller: AcmeDemoBundle:Test:hello2 }
   

And you can now access, route /test, /test/hello and /test/hello2/firstname/lastname’. This is just one way of managing routes in symfony 2. This might help: http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/routing.html
