Question

I’m continuing my study of Symfony2 and new “problems” are found!

Let me describe the problem.
I have a class that construct a form on a Doctrine Entity. It is identical to the registration form example described at this page of the official docs. The only difference is that I use Doctrine instead of MongoDB.

Now, I added the following field into the User class

 /**
 * @Assert\Type(type="integer", message="Not an integer.")     
 * @ORM\Column(type="smallint", name="num")
 * 
 * @var Smallint $num
 * 
 */
protected $num; 

Then, I updated function buildForm in class UserType by adding the following lines:

public function buildForm(FormBuilder $builder, array $options)
{
    ...
    $builder->add('num', 'integer', array(
        'label' => 'Insert a number',
        ));
}

Here is the problem. Notwithstanding that I provide a custom message through Annotation, a wrong input for the field num (i.e. a string value) returns the following error code: “This value is not valid” instead of “Not an integer“.

Any idea about this missed interpretation of the customized error message?

Try adding

'invalid_message' => "Not an integer'

In buildForm method.
