Debug console commands are one of the key parts of the Symfony debugging experience. In Symfony 5.3 we improved them with new features and new commands.
Debug Events by Event Dispatcher¶
Contributed by
Timo Bakx
in #39276.
The recent features introduced in the Security component have changed the number of event dispatchers Symfony applications have by default. Each firewall now defines its own dispatcher, whereas the debug:event-dispatcher command only displays the default dispatcher. In Symfony 5.3 we added a new --dispatcher option to display the events associated to the given event dispatcher: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13$ php bin/console debug:event-dispatcher --dispatcher=security.event_dispatcher.main
Registered Listeners of Event Dispatcher "security.event_dispatcher.main" Grouped by Event
"Symfony\Component\Security\Http\Event\LogoutEvent" event
Order Callable Priority
1 Symfony\Component\Security\Http\EventListener\CsrfTokenClearingLogoutListener::onLogout() 0
Better Event Debugging¶
Contributed by
Tobias Nyholm
in #39323.
In Symfony 4.3 we started moving away from strings to name events in favor of using fully-qualified class names. This makes your code simpler, but it complicates the usage of the debug:event-dispatcher command when you want to filter by event. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10# you need to type the entire event FQCN to debug it $ php bin/console debug:event-dispatcher Symfony\Component\Mailer\Event\MessageEvent
Order Callable Priority
1 Symfony\Component\Mailer\EventListener\MessageListener::onMessage() 0
2 Symfony\Component\Mailer\EventListener\EnvelopeListener::onMessage() -255
3 Symfony\Component\Mailer\EventListener\MessageLoggerListener::onMessage() -255
In Symfony 5.3 we improved this command to search for events using its full name or any part of it. That’s way the following commands produce the same result as above: 1 2 3 4 5$ php bin/console debug:event-dispatcher Mailer $ php bin/console debug:event-dispatcher mailer $ php bin/console debug:event-dispatcher MessageEvent $ php bin/console debug:event-dispatcher messageEvent $ php bin/console debug:event-dispatcher messageevent
New Command to Debug Firewalls¶
Contributed by
Timo Bakx
in #39326.
As part of the recent improvements related to security, in Symfony 5.3 we’ve added a new command to debug security firewalls. Run the command without arguments to list the firewalls or pass a firewall name to debug it: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40$ php bin/console debug:firewall main
