Symfony Service Definition Validator
By Matthias Noback
Installation
Using Composer:
php composer.phar require matthiasnoback/symfony-service-definition-validator
Problems the validator can spot
Using the service definition validator in this library, the following service definition problems can be recognized:
- Non-existing classes
- Non-existing factory methods
- Method calls to non-existing methods
- Missing required arguments for constructors
- Non-public constructor methods
- Non-static factory methods
- Missing required arguments for method calls
- Type-hint mismatches for constructor arguments (array or class/interface)
- Type-hint mismatches for method call arguments (array or class/interface)
- Syntax errors in arguments that are expressions
- Expressions that cause errors when being evaluated
This will prevent lots of run-time problems, and will warn you about inconsistencies in your service definitions early on.
Reporting false-negatives
I've tested the validator with the latest Symfony Standard Edition which has (of course) only valid service definitions.
Please let me know if the validator fails inside your project when it should not have failed. When you report an issue,
please attach a copy of the error message and the relevant lines in app/cache/dev/appDevDebugProjectContainer.xml
.
Usage
If you have an existing Symfony application and you want to ensure that the service definitions are always valid the easiest way is to add the compiler pass to your bundle as described here. That will validate your service definitions every time the bundle is compiled, which happens every single request if the cache is turned off (the default in debug mode).
If you want to validate the service definitions in phpunit for a Symfony project follow the steps here.
Service validator factory
You can use the stand-alone validator for single definitions:
To process multiple definitions at once, wrap the validator inside a batch validator:
The resulting error list will contain errors about problematic service definitions.
Compiler pass
To check for the validity of all your service definitions at compile time, add the ValidateServiceDefinitionsPass
compiler pass to the ContainerBuilder
instance:
This compiler pass will throw an exception. The message of this exception will contain a list of invalid service definitions.
Running the validator in PHPUnit
In Symfony, adding the compiler pass will validate your services each time the page is loaded in your browser or when you use a command. But what if you want to run the validator on demand using PHPUnit? To do this, first set up the compiler pass as explained above and then create a new PHPUnit test with this inside:
This simple functional test just boots up the symfony kernel using the "test" environment. If you look back to the code you added to set up the compiler pass you'll see that we enabled the validator for the "test" environment too. So this simple PHPUnit test will validate the services each time it is run.
In fact, if you already have functional tests you don't need this test, since the kernel will be booted (and therefore the services will be validated) in the other functional tests. The example test above is only needed if you don't already have any Symfony functional tests of your application.
Configure the validator
Both ValidateServiceDefinitionsPass
and ServiceDefinitionValidatorFactory
accept a Configuration
object.
It allows you to configure whether or not expression arguments should be evaluated. Since evaluating expressions can
cause all kinds of runtime errors, it is off by default, but you can easily turn it on:
Fixing invalid service definitions in third-party bundles
When the validator finds a problem with one of the service definitions that is your own, you can of course fix the problem yourself, but when the invalid service definition is defined in some other bundle, you can still fix problems by dynamically modifying the service definition. First you need to create a compiler pass:
After you have selected the invalid service definition, you can modify it in any way you like. For a list of everything
you can do with Definition
objects, see
http://symfony.com/doc/master/components/dependency_injection/definitions.html.
Don't forget to register the compiler pass in your bundle class:
