Set a global listener

[mirza99]

Hi, I have created a listener but the preUpdate() method is not called.

In the EditController the method saveObject() calls : $em->persist($Contact);

So, the prePersist should be called but, it isn't and even the post method aren't called

The config looks like this :

my.objectlistener:
        class: Acme\DemoBundle\Listener\ObjectListener
        arguments: [@service_container]
        tags:
            - { name: doctrine.event_listener, event: preUpdate }
            - { name: doctrine.event_listener, event: prePersist }

What should I do ?

Make sure your yaml config file is read by DI Extension class.

I use the file app/config/config.yml the method onFlush is called but not the others...
The listener class is very simple I don't know if I should show it here, here is one method :

 public function preUpdate(\Doctrine\ORM\Event\PreUpdateEventArgs $args){
    var_dump('ok'); die;
}

Hi @mirza99

This sounds more like a configuration error because the Admingenerator doesn't handle anything about that.
Generated code is similar to this:

    protected function saveObject(\Acme\DemoBundle\Entity\Product $Product)
    {
        $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManagerForClass('Acme\DemoBundle\Entity\Product');
        $em->persist($Product);
        $em->flush();
    }

So Doctrine listeners should work
