The error message 'cannot read property call of undefined' typically occurs when trying to call a method on an undefined or null value in Symfony.


To fix this error, follow these steps:

  1. Identify the line of code where the error is occurring.
  2. Check if the variable on which the method is being called is defined and not null. If it is undefined or null, you need to make sure it is initialized with a valid value before calling the method.
  3. If the variable should be initialized but it's not, review the code and find where it should be assigned a value. Ensure that the assignment is happening correctly and the variable is not being overridden.
  4. You can also add conditionals or checks to handle cases where the variable might not be defined or null, preventing the error from occurring. For example, you can use the null coalescing operator (??) to assign a default value if the variable is null.
  5. Debug the code using var_dump or print_r statements to inspect the variable's value at runtime and trace its origin.


Additionally, if the error occurs when calling a method on an object, verify that the method is defined in the object's class and that it is accessible (e.g., not a private method). Also, ensure that the object is properly instantiated before calling the method, and not accidentally assigned an incorrect value.


By following these steps and carefully reviewing your code, you should be able to fix the 'cannot read property call of undefined' error in Symfony.
