How to Debug the Service Container & List Services

Edit this page

Warning: You are browsing the documentation for Symfony 4.1, which is no longer maintained.

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

How to Debug the Service Container & List Services

You can find out what services are registered with the container using the console. To show all services (public and private) and their PHP classes, run:

1
2

$ php bin/console debug:container

# add this option to display "hidden services" too (those whose ID starts with a dot)
$ php bin/console debug:container --show-hidden

4.1

Hidden services and the --show-hidden option were introduced in Symfony 4.1.

To see a list of all of the available types that can be used for autowiring, run:

1
$ php bin/console debug:autowiring

Detailed Info about a Single Service

You can get more detailed information about a particular service by specifying its id:

$ php bin/console debug:container 'App\Service\Mailer'

# to show the service arguments:
$ php bin/console debug:container 'App\Service\Mailer' --show-arguments
