Symfony2 form not validate email and required constraint

I have a form like this made with Symfony2:

class UsuarioRegistroType extends AbstractType {

  public function BuildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) {

    $builder->add('email', 'email', array('label' => 'E-mail',  'required' => true))
....

Forms works fine, but if I write something like Email: asdf (not email address), I never get the error assosiated with this issue. Also, if I don't write anything, I don't get any error for required constraint.

Any idea with this issue? Thanks :)

You have just used HTML5 validation, many barowser do not support this. With this old version of different famous browser also not support HTML5 validation.

I think you should use annotation for validation from serverside. I think you know about annotation , which you can use in your Entity class. In your enity class property you may defined your required validation rules using annotaion in symfony2.

Example:

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

class Author
 {
     /**
      * @Assert\Email(
      *     message = "The email '{{ value }}' is not a valid email.",
      *     checkMX = true
      * )
      */
      protected $email;
 }

Required true don't validate anything. It just add a class required on the field on the form view. It's the html5 which validate that.

Try to add that on UsuarioRegistroType class :

public function setDefaultOptions(OptionsResolverInterface $resolver)
{
    $collectionConstraint = new Collection(array(
        'email' => array(
            new NotBlank(array('message' => 'Email should not be blank.')),
            new Email(array('message' => 'Invalid email address.'))
        )
    ));

    $resolver->setDefaults(array(
        'constraints' => $collectionConstraint
    ));
}

don't forget the use statements :

use Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\OptionsResolverInterface;

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\Email;

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\NotBlank;

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\Collection;
