Argument 1 passed to x must be an instance of y, string given,

Question

I try to execute a post request, but it shows me this error Argument 1 passed to x::addPhoto() must be an instance of y, string given, this argument in my case is the current authenticated user, i use this code to have it:

    $user= $this->get('security.context')->getToken()->getUser();

but this code does not give a user instance as result , it gives me a string, how to solve that please ?

If you are not logged in, then getUser() returns the string "anon." Maybe that is your problem? — Emanuel Oster, Apr 18 '16 at 15:03
What Symfony version are you running? Since some version (don't know which one) you can just use $this->getUser() from inside a controller. Maybe try that. — Emanuel Oster, Apr 18 '16 at 15:06
when i try to user $this->getUser(), it gives me this error Catchable Fatal Error: Argument 1 passed to x::addPhoto() must be an instance of Y, null given — anony, Apr 18 '16 at 15:16
Are you sure you are logged in? Everything so far hints towards not being logged in. What does the dev toolbar display? — Emanuel Oster, Apr 18 '16 at 15:20
I am logged in, otherwise the page will not be displayed, because I can not access without using the access token .. — anony, Apr 18 '16 at 15:22
You are authenticated anonymously, so not authenticated, you can look at the debug bar, you should see Anonymous in the security part. — chalasr, Apr 18 '16 at 19:53

Solved, I had a problem of class mapping,

     $user= $this->get('security.context')->getToken()->getUser();

this code works in symfony 2.8, thank you for your responses

So what specifically did you do to fix your problem? – frumious Apr 19 '16 at 09:11
the user class was defined in other bundle , and it was a problem of defining the path of the inversed entity, that's all – anony Apr 19 '16 at 09:21
