Attaching to HAL plugin event manager causes apigility admin to fail to load existing API's

[pdizz]

After attaching a listener to HAL plugin event manager and trying to edit API's in /apigility/ui#/api,and clicking on an existing API, it wont load. When I comment out the onBootstrap() method in Module.php, the existing API's load normally.

/**
 * Attach the image links listener to the hal render entity event
 *
 * @param MvcEvent $e
 */
public function onBootstrap(MvcEvent $e)
{
    $app = $e->getTarget();
    $services = $app->getServiceManager();
    $helpers  = $services->get('ViewHelperManager');
    $hal      = $helpers->get('Hal');

    $listener = new ImageLinksListener();
    $hal->getEventManager()->attach('renderEntity', function () { return; });
}

The call to /apigility/api/module/FileApi/rest?version=1 fails with this response:

I also have the same problem.
This is my code(From aligility documentation https://apigility.org/documentation/modules/zf-hal)
public function onBootstrap($e)
{
$app = $e->getTarget();
$services = $app->getServiceManager();
$helpers = $services->get('ViewHelperManager');
$hal = $helpers->get('Hal');
// The HAL plugin's EventManager instance does not compose a SharedEventManager,
// so you must attach directly to it.
$hal->getEventManager()->attach('renderEntity', array($this, 'onRenderEntity'));
}
public function onRenderEntity($e)
{
$entity = $e->getParam('entity');
if (! $entity->entity instanceof SomeTypeIHaveDefined) {
// do nothing
return;
}
// Add a "describedBy" relational link
$entity->getLinks()->add(\ZF\Hal\Link\Link::factory(array(
'rel' => 'describedBy',
'route' => array(
'name' => 'my/api/docs',
),
)));
}

Same problem here.

Instead of

$app = $e->getTarget();
$services = $app->getServiceManager();
$helpers = $services->get('ViewHelperManager');
$hal = $helpers->get('Hal');
$hal->getEventManager()->attach('renderEntity', array($this, 'onRenderEntity'));

use

$app = $e->getTarget();
$services = $app->getServiceManager();
$sharedEvents = $services->get('SharedEventManager');
$sharedEvents->attach('ZF\Hal\Plugin\Hal', 'renderEntity', array($this, 'onRenderEntity'));

Using the SharedEventManager in the way described by @gaco79 from the Google Groups thread fixed the problem resulting in the error message:

Missing parameter "name"

++ for solution.
