Error in circular references (function nesting level of '100' reached)

[joanteixi]

Hello,

i'm not sure if this is the correct place to comment this issue. I will try to explain the problem:
I've a User class with followers and people to follow throught another class (Follow entity). In follow entity there're of courser references to User entity... There're more entites related like Follow entity in my model... so... when i try to serialize it I get an error (function nesting level...) due (i supose) to the circular references.

I see in documentation that this bundle can handle with circular references of objects so I supose that I have some problem. Here is the example in pseudoPHP on my controller:

    $user = entitityRepository->find(1);
    $serializer = $this->get('serializer');
    $json = $serializer->serialize($user, 'json');

...error... :(

The bundle automatically breaks circular references. The problem might indeed be that your object graph is indeed too deep and consequentially, xdebug terminates the execution.

Thanks... I supose that the best solution is use the ExclusionPolicy as Annotations. Thanks for you great job with your bundles
