Description
TransformationFailedException thrown when JSON is submitted through HiddenType field. I have one form that is passing a JSON which is a canvas map of a captured signature.
This commit creates the breaking change for us:
symfony/form@4f7d286#diff-9c65c1fe9e9fce8398f48544b0bbf2a5
Specifically this block of code:
} elseif (\is_array($submittedData) && !$this->config->getCompound() && !$this->config->hasOption('multiple')) {
$submittedData = null;
$this->transformationFailure = new TransformationFailedException('Submitted data was expected to be text or number, array given.');
}This runs before a transformer can clean the data and a mapper does not seem to be a good fit for this.
How to reproduce
Submit JSON through a HiddenType form field
Possible Solution
Check for an additional form option scalar = false or something along those lines.
Example JSON:
[
{
"lx":132,
"ly":67,
"mx":132,
"my":66
},
{
"lx":118,
"ly":27,
"mx":118,
"my":26
},
{
"lx":144,
"ly":19,
"mx":144,
"my":18
}
]This can get quite large depending on the size of the complexity of the signature. Transformers and mappers seem to run after this exception is thrown.
Thoughts?
