Overriding Default FOSUserBundle Controller in Symfony 3.4

Question

I'm using the Fosuserbundle to manager members in my project { SF::3.4.8 }, when trying to override the controller of the registrationController by following the Symfony documentation

<?php

namespace TestUserBundle;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RedirectResponse;
use FOSUserBundle\Controller\RegistrationController as BaseController;

class RegistrationController extends BaseController {

    public function registerAction(Request $request)
    {
        die("Hello");
    }
}

but the system ignore that controller and still use The original controller, so if there any way to override my controller by

have you defined registration route for this action same to fos_user registration route as it's said in symfony docs? — Pavel Alazankin
yes but i'm using symfony 3.4 so it will be ignored as said inthe symfony docs — Frameman
note that "Bundle inheritance is deprecated since Symfony 3.4" — Pavel Alazankin
try to debug your routes using cli command symfony.com/doc/3.4/routing/debug.html to see if your registration path matches your custom registration route — Pavel Alazankin

First, overriding the controller is probably not the best way to process. You should consider to hook into controller. Here is the related documentation: https://symfony.com/doc/master/bundles/FOSUserBundle/controller_events.html

Then if you still want to override the controller, you should act in the dependency injection. The service name of the controller is fos_user.registration.controller.

To replace the service you can simply use:

services:
    fos_user.registration.controller: 
        class: YourController
        arguments:
            $eventDispatcher: '@event_dispatcher'
            $formFactory: '@fos_user.registration.form.factory'
            $userManager: '@fos_user.user_manager'
            $tokenStorage: 'security.token_storage'

You can also override it in a CompilerPass. Which is probably the best solution for you because you do this inside another bundle.

Here is how it should look:

use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Compiler\CompilerPassInterface;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerBuilder;

class ReplaceRegistrationController extends CompilerPassInterface
{
    public function process(ContainerBuilder $container)
    {
        $container
            ->getDefinition('fos_user.registration.controller')
            ->setClass(YourController::class)
        ;
    }
}

Don't forget to register it inside your bundle:

$container->addCompilerPass(new ReplaceRegistrationController());
