Not able to get currently logged user in symfony2 controller

I have this code in controller

public function newAction()
    {
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager();
$user = $this->container->get('security.context')->getToken()->getUser();

I am getting this error

Fatal error: Call to a member function getUser() on a non-object in /home/xxxxx/Acme/UserBundle/Controller/UserController.php on line 86

I was having the same issue. My mistake was the following:

security.yml

access_control:
    - { path: ^/admin/*, roles: ROLE_ADMIN }

I had to change the controller where I was having the error from this:

routing.yml (BAD)

admin_bets:
    resource: "@adminBundle/Resources/config/routing/bets.yml"
    prefix:   /bets

to this:

routing.yml (GOOD)

admin_bets:
    resource: "@adminBundle/Resources/config/routing/bets.yml"
    prefix:   /admin/bets

It means that your security context was not populated with token. It happens, when route to your action is not behind the firewall.

You should check your firewall pattern in security.yml

  1. Make Sure you are logged in using the Symfony debug bar. If you can see there as logged then it should work ok

  2. Also have a look if that path is behind firewall. If its not even though You are logged but you will not get the user
