Bug in generating urls from a subdomains in Symfony 2?

Question

My project has a subdomain shop.example.com and routing.yml is using the host matching feature (requires Symfony >=2.2) as explained here:

example_shop:
    resource: "@MyShopBundle/Controller/"
    type:     annotation
    prefix:   /
    host:     "shop.example.com"

example_front:
    resource: "@MyFrontBundle/Controller/"
    type:     annotation
    prefix:   /

URL matching works just fine, but I have some trouble generating full/relative urls (linking the domain to the subdomain e viceversa):

<pre>shop_index:  {{ url('shop_index') }}</pre>
<pre>shop_test:   {{ path('shop_test') }}</pre>
<pre>front_index: {{ url('front_index') }}</pre>
<pre>front_test:  {{ url('front_test') }}</pre>

When I run the above code from index.html.twig of MyFrontBundle (route example.com):

shop_index:  http://shop.example.com/app_dev.php/
shop_test:   //shop.example.com/app_dev.php/test
front_index: http://example.com/app_dev.php/
front_test:  http://example.com/app_dev.php/test

However the same code in index.html.twig of MyShopBundle (route shop.example.com) produces:

shop_index:  http://shop.example.com/app_dev.php/
shop_test:   /app_dev.php/test
front_index: http://shop.example.com/app_dev.php/     <!-- wrong! -->
front_test:  http://shop.example.com/app_dev.php/test <!-- wrong! -->

As you can see the problem is generating urls from the subdomain poiting to full or relative urls of the domain. How ca I solve this?

Since your front routes are not fixed to a domain like the shop routes, the url function uses the current domain, as every domain matches to this routes. Try to fix down your frontend routes:

example_front:
    resource: "@MyFrontBundle/Controller/"
    type:     annotation
    prefix:   /
    host:     "example.com"
