Error when embed a collection of Forms in Symfony2

Question

I'm trying to embed a collection of forms in a symfony2 application. I have to simple entities : Shop and Address whith a Shop which has multiple address. I follow the Symfony2 documentation but I get the error :

Neither the property "address" nor one of the methods "getAddress()", "address()", "isAddress()", "hasAddress()", "__get()" exist and have public access in class "AppBundle\Entity\Address". 500 Internal Server Error - NoSuchPropertyException

It seems to me that it is trying to access the address preoperty of my Address Entity.

Here is my Shop Entity

<?php

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

I created two formType in order to manage my entities :

ShopType.php

<?php

namespace AppBundle\Form;

use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;
use Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\OptionsResolver;

use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\TextType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\CollectionType;

use AppBundle\Form\AddressType;
use AppBundle\Entity\Shop;
use AppBundle\Entity\Address;

class ShopType extends AbstractType
{
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        $builder
            ->add('shopName', TextType::class, array('label' => 'Nom du magasin *', 'required' => true, 'error_bubbling' => true))
            ->add('ownerName', TextType::class, array('label' => 'Nom du gérant *', 'required' => true, 'error_bubbling' => true))

            ->add('address', CollectionType::class, array(  'entry_type' => AddressType::class,
                                                            'allow_add' => true,
                                                            'label' => 'Adresse *', 
                                                            'required' => true
            ));
    }

    public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
    {
        $resolver->setDefaults(array(
                'data_class' => Shop::class,
        ));
    }
}

AddressType.php

<?php

namespace AppBundle\Form;

use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\TextType;
use Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\OptionsResolver;

use AppBundle\Entity\Address;

class AddressType extends AbstractType
{
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        $builder
            ->add('address', TextType::class, array('label' => 'Adresse*', 'required' => true))
            ->add('CodePostal', TextType::class, array('label' => 'Code postal*', 'required' => true, 'error_bubbling' => true))
            ->add('Ville', TextType::class, array('label' => 'Ville', 'required' => false, 'error_bubbling' => true))
            ->add('Pays', 'choice', array(
                    'choices'   => array(
                            'FR'   => 'France',
                            'SU'   => 'Suisse',
                            'BE'    => 'Belgique'
                    )
            ))
        ;
    }

    public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
    {
        $resolver->setDefaults(array(
                'data_class' => Address::class,
        ));
    }

    public function getName()
    {
        return 'addresse';
    }
}

In my controller, I'm instanciating my form as following :

$shop = $shopRepo->findOneByOwner($user);
if ($shop == null){
    $shop = new Shop();
}
$form = $this->createForm(ShopType::class , $shop);

This error is occurred due to this line at AddressType class:

->add('address', TextType::class, array('label' => 'Adresse*', 'required' => true))

You are trying to access address property of Address entity, but it doesn't contain it. The same is related to other fields: CodePostal => postalCode etc

Also at your Shop entity you have address field annotated as OneToMany relation which is ok, and at the same time you have setAddress(ArrayCollection $address) method, but instead you should have:

public function addAddress(Address $address)
{
    $this->address->add($address);

    return $this;
}

and optional

public function removeAddress(Address $address)
{
    $this->address->remove($address);

    return $this;
}

Btw I suggest to rename property address into addresses to highlight that it should contain collection but not single entity.

Thanks a lot for your explanation. I'm glad you "validated" my OneToMany relation, I was not sure about it. Also, thanks for correcting my Shop entity !
