Symfony CLI

Symfony CLI is a must-have tool when developing Symfony applications on your local machine. It includes the Symfony Local Server, the best way to run local Symfony applications. This week Symfony CLI released its new 4.24.0 version with the following changes:

• Add support for fuzzy command names (for instance, you can use u:a instead of user:add)
• Remove error that is not an error: error sending signal urgent I/O condition os: process already finished
• Fix env:validate when the .symfony.cloud.yaml file is not valid
• Update available PHP extensions on Cloud
• Disable auto-updates (only a warning is now displayed with the command to run to update)

Newest issues and pull requests
