New in Symfony 7.1: Commands Improvements

New Command to Reveal Secrets

Contributed by Daniel Burger in #53466

Symfony provides a feature to manage secrets that encrypts and stores the given values in a secure vault. When developing applications, it might be useful to see the original plain text value of a secret. That's why in Symfony 7.1 we've introduced a new secrets:reveal command:

1
2
3

# the command outputs the plain text value of the database password
# (e.g. you can pipe this output to another command)
$ php bin/console secrets:reveal DATABASE_PASSWORD

Improved the debug:serializer Command

Contributed by Jan Schädlich in #52730

The debug:serializer command helps you find issues when using the Serializer component. In Symfony 7.1 we've improved it to also display the serialized path:

$ php bin/console debug:serializer 'App\Entity\Book'

    App\Entity\Book
    ---------------

    +----------+------------------------------------------------------------+
    | Property | Options                                                    |
    +----------+------------------------------------------------------------+
    | name     |   ...                                                      |
    | isbn     |                                                            |
    |          |   ...                                                      |
    |          |   "serializedName" => null,                                |
    |          |   "serializedPath" => [data][isbn],                        |
    | ...      |   ...                                                      |

Improved messenger:consume Command

Contributed by javaDeveloperKid in #52411

When consuming messages of the Messenger component, you run the messenger:consume command and pass the name of the receiver or service:

1

$ php bin/console messenger:consume async

In Symfony 7.1, we're adding a new --all option so you can consume messages from all the available receivers:

1

$ php bin/console messenger:consume --all

Improved twig:lint Command

Contributed by Antoine M. in #50864

The lint:twig command checks that your Twig templates don't have any syntax errors. It's useful to run it before deploying your application to production (e.g. in your continuous integration server).

If you have some special Twig templates (e.g. related to some data collector) you may get false positives when linting them. That's why in Symfony 7.1 we're adding a --excludes option so you can ignore certain directories:

1

$ php bin/console lint:twig templates/ --excludes=data_collector/ --excludes=some_dev_tool/

Getting all Command Tokens

Contributed by Grégoire Pineau in #54347

In Symfony 7.1 we also added a getRawTokens() method to the ArgvInput. This method allows to fetch the raw input that was passed to the command, including all options and arguments. This is useful to parse the input yourself or to pass the entire input to another command.

For example, if you run this command:

1

$ php bin/console app:my-command foo --bar --baz=3 --qux=value1 --qux=value2

This would be the output of the new method:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

$tokens = $input->getRawTokens();
// $tokens = ['app:my-command', 'foo', '--bar', '--baz=3', '--qux=value1', '--qux=value2'];

// pass true as argument to not include the original command name
$tokens = $input->getRawTokens(true);
// $tokens = ['foo', '--bar', '--baz=3', '--qux=value1', '--qux=value2'];

// pass the raw input to any other command (from Symfony or the operating system)
$process = new Process(['app:other-command', ...$input->getRawTokens(true)]);
