[FrameworkBundle] Controller forward does not set route about symfony

[stof]

Forwarding does not forward to a route but to a controller. You don't even need to have a route for your controller.

You should never rely on the _route. It's only available for debugging purpose.

@fabpot What is the right way to access to the current route name ? My use case is to make a generic listener in KernelEvents::REQUEST.

[stof]

$request->attribute->get('_route') is the way to access it. But if you use forward, there is simply no route as you are generally forwarding to a controller, not to a path needing the router to find the controller.

I understand, thanks

Correct core is $this->getRequest()->attributes->get('_route'); or $this->getRequest()->get('_route') (at least for Symfony 2.3.*)

As far as I know the better way is just to inject your route's name as a parameter in your controller, then you could use forwards.
