Symfony-无法转换属性路径启动日期的值：预期为\\ DateTimeInterface

Question

I'm trying to add a new product with a price containing a launchdate. This results into the error in the title.

Product.php

...
public function __construct() {
    $this->clients = new ArrayCollection();
    $this->priceupdates = new ArrayCollection();
    $this->currentPrice = new PriceUpdate();
}
...

ProductController.php

...
public function newAction(Request $request) {
    $entity = new Product();
    $form = $this->createForm(ProductType::class, $entity);
...

ProductType.php

...
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) {

    $builder
    ->add('description', TextType::class)
    ->add('ProductPriceUpdate', ProductPriceUpdateType::class ,array(
        'data_class' => PriceUpdate::class))
    ->add('clients', EntityType::class, array(
        'class' => 'AppBundle:Client',
        'choice_label' => 'naam',
        'multiple' => true
        ))
    ->add('reset', ResetType::class, array(
        'label' => 'Reset',
        'attr'  => array(
            'class' => 'btn btn-danger'
        )))
    ->add('submit', SubmitType::class, array(
        'label' => 'Create',
        'attr'  => array(
            'class' => 'btn btn-success'
        )));
}
...

ProductPriceUpdateType.php

class ProductPriceUpdateType extends AbstractType {

    /**
     * @param FormBuilderInterface $builder
     * @param array $options
     */
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) {
        $builder
        ->add('price', MoneyType::class)
        ->add('launchdate', DateType::class);
    }
...
}

PriceUpdate.php

public function __construct() {
        $this->launchdate = \DateTime::createFromFormat('m/d/Y', 'now');

I don't see anything wrong with it and I don't understand why a \\DateTimeInterface is expected.

Answer 1

It looks like 'now' cannot be used for when datetime is created from format and time() has to used instead.

PriceHistory.php

...
public function __construct() {
    $this->activedate = DateTime::createFromFormat('U', time());
...
