Jmsserializerbundle: Symfony 3 'json' method gives errors with JMS

[askhalil]

Thank you for this awesome library. I am running into a weird problem when I call $this->json($data) in symfony 3.1 controller. This is the error I am getting is

Type error: Argument 3 passed to JMS\Serializer\Serializer::serialize() must be an instance of JMS\Serializer\SerializationContext, array given, called in /app/vendor/symfony/symfony/src/Symfony/Bundle/FrameworkBundle/Controller/Controller.php on line 117

jms/serializer-bundle version 1.1
jms/serializer version 1.2

Thank you

@askhalil to fix this you need to disable short alias ("serializer") for JMS Serializer:

# app/config/config.yml

jms_serializer:
    enable_short_alias: false

@askhalil could close this issue ? The @kubawerlos's tip resolves this problem.

@yceruto I dont think so. If you disable short alias, then \Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller::json will not use JMSSerializerBundle, but json_encode or symfony serializer component if enabled. This should be fixed.

[yceruto]

If you disable short alias, then \Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller::json will not use JMSSerializerBundle.

It is still the expected behavior. Symfony does not use JMSSerializerBundle by default, but json_encode or Symfony Serializer Component if enabled (as you said).

This should be fixed.

If you need serialize all json response with JMSSerializeBundle, you need then override the Controller::json() controller/method in your app. JMSSerializeBundle cannot solve this, simply disable the short alias to avoid conflicts.

@yceruto Then it should be visible writen in documentation, because it is unexpected behaviour. Everyone will see it as bug.

as posted by @yceruto here

the solution is:

# app/config/config.yml

jms_serializer:
    enable_short_alias: false

@Tetragramat PR to the documentation are welcome

@goetas
Hi , the option enable_short_alias has been abandoned?

[goetas]

yes, for the 2.x versions, the alias is always jms_serializer

(just serializer has been reserved for the symfony serializer)
