Set Symfony Request attribute in Request Listener

Question

I have a Symfony event listener which is listening on "kernel.request". I would like to add an attribute to the request which I can access in my controllers. I tried doing this:

$request = $event->getRequest();
$request->attributes->set('test', 'testvalue');

However, the "test" attribute is not a part of the request object in my controllers. I am not receiving any errors, but it's just not there. What else do I need to do?

edit:

I verified that the listener is being called. In my controller, I have this, but don't get the "test" attribute:

class DefaultController extends BaseController
{
    public function indexAction(Request $request)
    {
        echo "<pre>"; print_r($request->attributes); echo "</pre>";
    }
}

What you posted should work. Verify your listener is actually being called. And that the controller is using get or the action has an argument called $test. — Cerad

Cerad: what I think that Steven is trying to do is to inject arbitrary arguments into the response. — Alberto Gaona

It turns out my Event Listener was returning before my attribute was being set. Stupid mistake.
