Symfony for VS Code

This extension aims to help developing Symfony2+ projects, by showing services and routes of your current project, and provide autocompletion support with these datas.

It was created by TheNouillet.

Features

This extension add a new view, the Symfony Debug View, to visualize the status of your project container and routes. With this, you can :

• know which controller action is binded to a route
• know which class is binded to a service
• see all services aliases
• ...

This extension also enable autocompletion in YAML files to reference services.

How does it works ?

To detect Symfony projects, this extension rely on composer.json files with symfony/symfony or symfony/lts as one of its dependencies.

The composer.json file is supposed to be at the root of your Symfony project.

When the project is detected, it simply uses the debug:container and debug:router console commands to hydrate the views and autocompletions.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• symfony-vscode.showConsoleErrors: Set this to false if you don't want to be annoyed by the extension everytime command calls fails.
• symfony-vscode.phpPath: the path of the PHP executable.
• symfony-vscode.consolePath: when the console is somewhere else than bin/console (or app/console for Symfony 2), override this setting.
• symfony-vscode.showAsseticRoutes: By default, the route view doesn't show routes generated by AsseticBundle. Set this to true if you want to see them.
• symfony-vscode.detectCwd: By default, the extension guess the root directory of your Symfony project to execute console commands from. Set this to false if you don't want that.
• symfony-vscode.servicesFilters: A list of regexs to filter out services to improve autocompletion pertinence.

Troubleshooting

Q: I run my Symfony project on Docker. How do I configure the extension ?

A: You have to override the PHP executable path, and disable the root directory auto-detection, like this :

{
    "symfony-vscode.detectCwd": false,
    "symfony-vscode.phpPath": "docker exec my_container_id /bin/sh -c 'cd /path/to/symfony && /usr/bin/php \"$@\"' -- "
}
