How to update your project?

This document explains how to upgrade from one Symfony2 PR version to the next one. It only discusses changes that need to be done when using the "public" API of the framework. If you "hack" the core, you should probably follow the timeline closely anyway.

PR9 to PR10

• Bundle logical names earned back their Bundle suffix:

  Controllers: Blog:Post:show -> BlogBundle:Post:show

  Templates: Blog:Post:show.html.twig -> BlogBundle:Post:show.html.twig

  Resources: @Blog/Resources/config/blog.xml -> @BlogBundle/Resources/config/blog.xml

  Doctrine: $em->find('Blog:Post', $id) -> $em->find('BlogBundle:Post', $id)

• Almost all core bundles parameters have been removed. You should use the settings exposed by the bundle extension configuration instead.

• Some core bundles service names changed for better consistency.

• Namespace for validators has changed from validation to assert (it was announced for PR9 but it was not the case then):

  Before:

    @validation:NotNull
  

  After:

    @assert:NotNull
  

  Moreover, the Assert prefix used for some constraints has been removed (AssertTrue to True).

• ApplicationTester::getDisplay() and CommandTester::getDisplay() method now return the command exit code

PR8 to PR9

• Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Util\Filesystem has been moved to Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Util\Filesystem

• The Execute constraint has been renamed to Callback

• The HTTP exceptions classes signatures have changed:

  Before:

    throw new NotFoundHttpException('Not Found', $message, 0, $e);
  

  After:

    throw new NotFoundHttpException($message, $e);
  

• The RequestMatcher class does not add ^ and $ anymore to regexp.

  You need to update your security configuration accordingly for instance:

  Before:

    profiler:
        pattern:  /_profiler/.*
  

  After:

    profiler:
        pattern:  ^/_profiler
  

• Global templates under app/ moved to a new location (old directory did not work anyway):

  Before:

    app/views/base.html.twig
    app/views/AcmeDemoBundle/base.html.twig
  

  After:

    app/Resources/views/base.html.twig
    app/Resources/AcmeDemo/views/base.html.twig
  

• Bundle logical names lose their Bundle suffix:

  Controllers: BlogBundle:Post:show -> Blog:Post:show

  Templates: BlogBundle:Post:show.html.twig -> Blog:Post:show.html.twig

  Resources: @BlogBundle/Resources/config/blog.xml -> @Blog/Resources/config/blog.xml

  Doctrine: $em->find('BlogBundle:Post', $id) -> $em->find('Blog:Post', $id)

• Assetic filters must be now explicitly loaded:

  assetic: filters: cssrewrite: ~ yui_css: jar: "/path/to/yuicompressor.jar" my_filter: resource: "%kernel.root_dir%/config/my_filter.xml" foo: bar
