Symfony, route conflicts between controller and bundle

Question

For example simple controller:

    /**
     * @Route("/{identifier}", name="page")
     */
    public function page(Request $request, string $identifier)
    {
        $page = $this->pageRepository->findOneBy(['identifier' => $identifier]);

        if (!$page || !$page->getEnabled()) {
            throw $this->createNotFoundException();
        }
        
         return $this->render('cms/index.html.twig', []);
     }

And a have a bundle to manage images from admin page elfinder, which will enter the /elfinder link.

And instead of getting the bundle controller, my controller gets.

/{identifier} === /elfinder

How do people usually act in such situations?

I tried to set different priority, but it does not help

Answer 1

Try adding your controllers with the priority required in the annotations.yaml file. Thus, if you get a 404 in the first one, Symfony will try to open the route from the next controller

Add your controllers to config/routes/annotations.yaml

page:
    resource: App\Controller\_YourFistController_
    type: annotation

elfinder:
    resource: FM\ElfinderBundle\Controller\ElFinderController
    type: annotation

---

Or if this option does not suit you, then you can try the optional parameter priority. symfony doc

Add to config file config/routes.yaml:

elfinder:
    path: /elfinder/{instance}/{homeFolder}
    priority: 2
    controller: FM\ElfinderBundle\Controller\ElFinderController::show

Answer 2

I tried to set the priority through the configuration file. But unfortunately it didn't work.

The only thing that helped was to create your own methods that will redirect

/**
 * @Route("/elfinder", name="elfinder", priority=10)
 */
public function elfinder()
{
    return $this->forward('FM\ElfinderBundle\Controller\ElFinderController::show', [
        'homeFolder'  => '',
        'instance' => 'default',
    ]);
}

/**
 * @Route("/efconnect", name="efconnect", priority=11)
 */
public function elfinderLoad(Request $request, SessionInterface $session, EventDispatcherInterface $dispatcher)
{
    return $this->forward('FM\ElfinderBundle\Controller\ElFinderController::load', [
        'session' => $session,
        'eventDispatcher' => $dispatcher,
        'request' => $request,
        'homeFolder'  => '',
        'instance' => 'default',
    ]);
}
