In the controller i have the update action
THIS IS THE CONTROLLER ACTION
public function update_ricettaAction(Request $request, $id)
{
//$this->denyAccessUnlessGranted('ROLE_ADMIN', null, 'Non puoi accedere a questa pagina!');
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$recipe = $em->getRepository('AppBundle:Recipe')->find($id);
$form = $this->createForm(new RecipeType($recipe), $recipe);
$form->handleRequest($request);
if ($form->isValid())
{
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
try
{
$em->persist($recipe);
$em->flush();
return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('successricettaupdate'));
} catch (\Exception $e)
{
$form->addError(new FormError('errore nel database: ' . $e->getMessage()));
}
if ($form->isValid())
{
$var = $recipe;
$em->persist($var);
$em->flush();
return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('successricettaupdate'));
} else
{
}
}
return $this->render('administration/update_ricetta.html.twig', array(
'recipe' => $recipe,
'form' => $form->createView()));
}
When i submit the form, to update all, some, or just one field of the entity, i get the error:
Error: Call to a member function move() on a non-object
I don't know what can it be...
Any suggestion?

SOLVED
I solved my own problem, and this is the solution if can help anyone:
In the Entity, i modified this:
/**
* #ORM\PrePersist()
* #ORM\PreUpdate()
*/
public function uploadImage() {
// the file property can be empty if the field is not required
if (null === $this->image) {
return;
}
if(!$this->id){
$this->image->move($this->getTmpUploadRootDir(), $this->image->getClientOriginalName());
}else{
$this->image->move($this->getUploadRootDir(), $this->image->getClientOriginalName());
}
$this->setImage($this->image->getClientOriginalName());
}
in to this:
/**
* #ORM\PrePersist()
* #ORM\PreUpdate()
*/
public function uploadImage() {
// the file property can be empty if the field is not required
if (null === $this->image) {
return;
}
if(!$this->id){
$this->image->move($this->getTmpUploadRootDir(), $this->image->getClientOriginalName());
}else{
return null;
}
}
Now I don't get any error, and the updating works!
