[FIXED] Symfony2 redirect for event listener?

Issue

I have a kernel event listener setup (kernel.controller) to redirect the user if he's not logged in. The event listener is succesfully getting called, however I'm having trouble figuring out how to redirect. Here's what I got:

$cont = $event->getController('testpost');
$event->setResponse($cont);

Which gives me the error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Event\FilterControllerEvent::setResponse() 

Solution

You can't set a response to a FilterControllerEvent object. You need to listen for the kernel.request event because its GetResponseEvent object has the setResponse() method:

$route = 'route_name';

if ($route === $event->getRequest()->get('_route')) {
    return;
}

$url = $this->router->generate($route);
$response = new RedirectResponse($url);
$event->setResponse($response);
