How to Visualize And Debug Routes

Edit this page

Warning: You are browsing the documentation for Symfony 2.7, which is no longer maintained.

Read the updated version of this page for Symfony 6.3 (the current stable version).

How to Visualize And Debug Routes

While adding and customizing routes, it's helpful to be able to visualize and get detailed information about your routes. A great way to see every route in your application is via the debug:router console command, which lists all the configured routes in your application:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
$ php app/console debug:router

homepage              ANY       /
contact               GET       /contact
contact_process       POST      /contact
article_show          ANY       /articles/{_locale}/{year}/{title}.{_format}
blog                  ANY       /blog/{page}
blog_show             ANY       /blog/{slug}

You can also get very specific information on a single route by including the route name as the command argument:

1
$ php app/console debug:router article_show

Likewise, if you want to test whether a URL matches a given route, use the router:match command. This is useful to debug routing issues and find out which route is associated with the given URL:

1
2
3
$ php app/console router:match /blog/my-latest-post

Route "blog_show" matches
