Symfony 2.5 addViolationAt deprecated, use buildViolation()

Question

I have been following the cookbook on how to create a class constraint validator and right now I am at the point where I am about to add the violation in the validate(

Answer 1

addViolation and addViolationAt are deprecated from 2.5 but won't be removed until 3.0 so they are still usable for a good time.

However... taken from the the UPGRADE FROM 2.x to 3.0 log...

The method addViolationAt() was removed. You should use buildViolation() instead:

Before:

$context->addViolationAt('property', 'The value {{ value }} is invalid.', array(
    '{{ value }}' => $invalidValue,
));

After:

$context->buildViolation('The value {{ value }} is invalid.')
    ->atPath('property')
    ->setParameter('{{ value }}', $invalidValue)
    ->addViolation();
));

With a bit more taken from Context/ExecutionContextInterface...

/**
 * Returns a builder for adding a violation with extended information.
 *
 * Call {@link ConstraintViolationBuilderInterface::addViolation()} to
 * add the violation when you're done with the configuration:
 *
 *     $context->buildViolation('Please enter a number between %min% and %max.')
 *         ->setParameter('%min%', 3)
 *         ->setParameter('%max%', 10)
 *         ->setTranslationDomain('number_validation')
 *         ->addViolation();
 *
 * @param string $message    The error message
 * @param array  $parameters The parameters substituted in the error message
 *
 * @return ConstraintViolationBuilderInterface The violation builder

public function buildViolation($message, array $parameters = array());
