Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Problem
The EntityForm::setEntityManager has a deprecation notice that states that EntityForm::setEntityTypeManager is deprecated, pointing to use EntityFormInterface::setEntityTypeManager instead. This message can be confusing.
The deprecation error should state that EntityForm::setEntityManager (which triggers the error) is deprecated and not EntityForm::setEntityTypeManager (which will not be removed in 9.0).
Solution
Replace the error_msg on line 464 of core/lib/Drupal/Core/Entity/EntityForm.php with EntityForm::setEntityManager() is deprecated in drupal:8.0.0 and is removed from drupal:9.0.0. Use EntityFormInterface::setEntityTypeManager() instead. See https://www.drupal.org/node/2549139

himanshu_sindhwani commentedIt seems to me the error is just right but the function where I should be triggered is wrong, just corrected it.

Comment #12
himanshu_sindhwani commentedAdding the deprecated warning to both EntityForm::setEntityManager and EntityForm::setEntityTypeManager and updating test cases.
Comment #14
himanshu_sindhwani commentedMaybe we should create a different issue to add a deprecation warning for EntityForm::setEntityTypeManager, So here correcting the test failure in #10.

Though this is going to be depricated in D9
EntityForm::setEntityManager()As well as this URL also https://www.drupal.org/node/2549139 needs to be updated for
EntityForm::setEntityManager()Comment #16
Rkumar commentedI am not sure about the proper tag but yes more inputs are required for this update.
Comment #17
dpovshed commentedI had recently spotted the same issue and the patch in #14 worked perfectly. Despite it is about a year old it is perfectly applicable and eliminates misleading message.
* marking this as RTBC;
* removing the 'Discussion Post' tag - if there is really something to discuss it is advisable to reuse any of the standard tags.

ravi.shankar commented@catch I think reroll of patch #14 on Drupal 9.2.x is not possible because the deprecated setEntityManager() method is removed in https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3087546 this issue.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
So removing the Needs reroll tag and back to RTBC as per comment #17.
Comment #20
ravi.shankar commentedBack to the 8.9.x version.
Comment #22
catchOh I see, was confused by the 9.2 test in #14. We are not really committing minor issues to 8.9.x, but since this is specifically about deprecation documentation, let's get it in.
Committed/pushed to 8.9.x, thanks!
