Answer 1

trouble was in form Type class, to work this unique-combination you have to add all values to fields you want to be unique, on my example will be

  $builder
            ->add('accountID', 'hidden', array ('data' => $options['acountID']))
            ->add('keyID', 'text')
            ->add('vCode', 'text');

i added hidden field (accontID) and fill it with data and then i got proper error to form-errors, if you will not fill there will be null values (so i don't know why it will NOT check uniques)

that is solution for me but basicly @Sybio help meto understand a lot of so i will check his answer as answer ^_^

If you want to check the uniqueness of accountId alone, add this to your class:

@UniqueEntity(fields={"accountID"}, message="This account is already taken")

Here the full code that check the uniqueness of the combinaison "keyID", "vCode", "accountID" and also the uniqueness of "accountID" alone:

<?php

// ...

/**
 * @ORM\Table(name="_apiKey")
 * @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="Eve\ProfileBundle\Entity\Repository\apiKeyRepository")
 * @UniqueEntity(fields={"keyID", "vCode", "accountID"}, message="you already own this api")
 * @UniqueEntity(fields={"accountID"}, message="This account ID is already taken")
 */
class apiKey
{

I don't know if you saw that the error only affect the field accountID, if you don't want this behavior just remove "unique=true" from your property $accountID.

If you just want to say that the cominaison "keyID", "vCode", "accountID" must be unique in the database, proceed like that:

/**
 * @ORM\Table(name="_apiKey",
 *      uniqueConstraints = {
 *          @ORM\UniqueConstraint(name="_api_key_key_id_v_code_account_id", columns={"keyID", "vCode", "accountID})
 *      }
 * )
 *
 * ...
 * etc, ...

class apiKey
