Zf2 form fieldset returns no fields - doctrine-orm

Question

I have done bunch of projects using ZF2 and Doctrine2. I build my form with as it follows: Create Form class extending Form, then create Fieldsets and set it as a base fieldset, then in the fieldset I add my fields. Within module.php I create factories in formElementConfig for my forms. It was working allways this way until now. I created a new project and suddenly I encounter a problem which I cant find what is going on. This is my code
//module.php
public function getFormElementConfig()
{
return array(
'factories' => array(
'OfferForm' => function($sm) {
$locator = $sm->getServiceLocator();
$form = new \Application\Form\OfferForm();
$form->setServiceLocator($locator);
return $form;
},
)
);
}
//Form
class OfferForm extends Form implements ServiceLocatorAwareInterface
{
protected $serviceLocator;
public function init()
{
$this->setAttributes(array(
'id' => 'offer',
'method' => 'post',
'class' => 'custom',
'enctype' => 'multipart/form-data'
));
$this->setAttribute('method', 'post')
->setHydrator(new ClassMethodsHydrator(false))
->setInputFilter(new InputFilter());
$this->add(array(
'name' => 'offer',
'type' => 'Application\Form\Fieldset\OfferFieldset',
'options' => array(
'use_as_base_fieldset' => true
)
));
$this->add(array(
'type' => 'Zend\Form\Element\Csrf',
'name' => 'csrf'
));
$this->add(array(
'name' => 'submit',
'attributes' => array(
'id' => 'submit',
'type' => 'submit',
'value' => $this->getServiceLocator()->getServiceLocator()->get('translator')->translate('Submit offer'),
'class' => 'btn btn-info'
)
));
}
....
//Fieldset
class OfferFieldset extends Fieldset implements InputFilterProviderInterface, ServiceLocatorAwareInterface
{
public function init()
{
$this->setHydrator(new ClassMethodsHydrator(false))
->setObject(new Offer());
$this->add(array(
'name' => 'title',
'type' => 'Zend\Form\Element\Text',
'attributes' => array(
'required' => 'required',
'class' => 'form-control',
)
));
....other fileds
}
/**
* #return array
*/
public function getInputFilterSpecification()
{
....
}
}
//Controller
$em = $this->getObjectManager();
$offer = new Offer();
$form = $this->getServiceLocator()->get('FormElementManager')->get('OfferForm');
$form->setHydrator(new DoctrineHydrator($em, 'Application\Entity\Offer'))->bind($offer);
if ($this->request->isPost()) {
$form->setData($this->request->getPost());
if ($form->isValid()) {
var_dump('ok');
}
}
$form->prepare();
return new ViewModel(array(
'form' => $form,
));
This way of doing things is allways working for me until now. If I try to get form element in the Veiw with $this->form->get('offer')->get('title') it says there is no field with name 'title'
One thing that i noticed is when form is called in the controller ($form = $this->getServiceLocator()->get('FormElementManager')->get('OfferForm');) the fieldset method init() where all my fields are set is not invoked.
I tried to dump data there and to die() the application but it did not get in to the method at all.
I can provide more code but I think this is all about building the form

You also need to add your fieldset to the formelementmanager configuration. The manager's initializer will call your fieldset init() method.
