Upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1 ======================= This document describes the changes made in symfony 1.1 and what need to be done to upgrade your symfony 1.0 projects. WARNING: symfony 1.1 is only compatible with PHP > 5.1. How to upgrade? --------------- To upgrade a project: * If you don't use a SCM tool, please make a backup of your project. As symfony replaces some files during the upgrade (front controllers for example), you need a way to merge your customizations after the upgrade. * Update the `symfony` file located in the project root directory by changing those three lines: [php] chdir(dirname(__FILE__)); include('config/config.php'); include($sf_symfony_data_dir.'/bin/symfony.php'); to [php] chdir(dirname(__FILE__)); require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php'); $configuration = new ProjectConfiguration(); include($configuration->getSymfonyLibDir().'/command/cli.php'); You can also copy the skeleton file from the symfony project skeleton directly: $ cp /path/to/symfony/lib/task/generator/skeleton/project/symfony symfony * Create a `config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php` file with the following content: [php] loadConfiguration(); Flash attributes ---------------- Flash attributes are now managed directly by `sfUser`. New usage: [php] // action $this->getUser()->setFlash('notice', 'foo'); $notice = $this->getUser()->getFlash('notice'); // template hasFlash('notice'): ?> getFlash('notice') ?> The `flash` entry in `filters.yml` must be removed too as the `sfFlashFilter` was removed. The `project:upgrade1.1` task makes all those changes for you. Deprecated methods in sfComponent --------------------------------- The following methods of `sfComponent` have been removed: * `->getPresentationFor()` * `->sendEmail()` They are accessible from `sfController`: [php] // action $this->getController()->getPresentationFor(...); The `project:upgrade1.1` task makes all those changes for you. Singletons ---------- The sfI18N, sfRouting, and sfLogger objects are now factories and not singletons. If you want to get one of those objects in your code, they are available from `sfContext`: [php] sfContext::getInstance()->getI18N() sfContext::getInstance()->getRouting() sfContext::getInstance()->getLogger() ### Routing Here is the default configuration for the routing in `factories.yml`: [yml] routing: class: sfPatternRouting param: load_configuration: true The `project:upgrade1.1` task makes all the changes for you. ### Logging Here is the default configuration for logging in `factories.yml`: [yml] logger: class: sfAggregateLogger param: level: debug loggers: sf_web_debug: class: sfWebDebugLogger param: level: debug condition: %SF_WEB_DEBUG% xdebug_logging: true sf_file_debug: class: sfFileLogger param: level: debug file: %SF_LOG_DIR%/%SF_APP%_%SF_ENVIRONMENT%.log The `logging.yml` configuration file is not used anymore. Instead, you can configure logging in `factories.yml`. To disable logging in the production environment, you will have to change your application `factories.yml`: [yml] prod: logger: class: sfNoLogger param: level: err loggers: ~ There is also a new `logging_enabled` setting in `settings.yml`. This can be used to prevent logging in the production environment altogether: [yml] prod: .settings: logging_enabled: off The `project:upgrade1.1` task makes all those changes for you. ### i18n Here is the default configuration for i18n in `factories.yml`: [yml] i18n: class: sfI18N param: source: XLIFF debug: off untranslated_prefix: "[T]" untranslated_suffix: "[/T]" cache: class: sfFileCache param: automatic_cleaning_factor: 0 cache_dir: %SF_I18N_CACHE_DIR% lifetime: 86400 prefix: %SF_APP_DIR% The `i18n.yml` configuration file is not used anymore. Instead, you can configure i18n in `factories.yml`. The only exception is the `default_culture` setting which is now configurable in `settings.yml` and do not depend on the i18n framework anymore: default_culture: en If your project has some specific settings, you must move your current configuration from the `i18n.yml` to the `factories.yml` and add the default culture in `settings.yml` as shown above. Cache Framework --------------- The `sfFunctionCache` class does not extend `sfFileCache` anymore. You must now pass a cache object to the constructor. The first argument to ->call() must now be a PHP callable. Some `sfCache` configuration parameter have changed their named to underscore names: * automaticCleaningFactor -> automatic_cleaning_factor * cacheDir -> cache_dir The `project:upgrade1.1` task makes all those changes for you. Autoloading ----------- The `autoloading_function` setting in `settings.yml` is not used anymore. You can register autoloading callables in your application configuration class. Thanks to the new `sfAutoload::autoloadAgain()` method, you won't need to clear the cache when you add or move classes in your project. This method will automatically find the changes and flush the autoloading cache. VERSION ------- The lib/VERSION file has been removed. If you want to get the current symfony version, you can use the `SYMFONY_VERSION` constant. This constant is defined in `autoload/sfCoreAutoload.class.php` Routing ------- To inject default route parameters, you can now use the `->setDefaultParameter()` method instead of using the `sf_routing_defaults` setting: [php] $this->context->getRouting()->setDefaultParameter($key, $value); I18N ---- symfony core classes don't return internationalized strings anymore: [php] getError('foo')) ?> This behavior has changed for the following methods and functions: [php] sfWebRequest::getError() sfWebResponse::addMeta() The following helpers (in sfCompat10Plugin) still return internationalized data: [php] form_error() include_metas() The `getGlobalMessageSource()` and `getGlobalMessageFormat()` methods has been removed from the sfI18N class. They are now equivalent to `getMessageSource()` and `getMessageFormat()`. Logger ------ Logger priorities are now constants: [php] sfLogger::INFO The `project:upgrade1.1` task makes all those changes for you. Deprecated methods in sfAction ------------------------------ The following methods of `sfAction` have been deprecated and throw a `sfConfigurationException` if `sf_compat_10` is set to `false`: * `->validate()` * `->handleError()` Deprecated methods in sfRequest ------------------------------- The following methods of `sfRequest` have been deprecated and throw a `sfConfigurationException` if `sf_compat_10` is set to `false`: * `->getError()` * `->getErrors()` * `->getErrorNames()` * `->hasError()` * `->hasErrors()` * `->setError()` * `->setErrors()` * `->removeError()` Deprecated methods in sfWebRequest ---------------------------------- The following methods of `sfWebRequest` have been deprecated and throw a `sfConfigurationException` if `sf_compat_10` is set to `false`: * `->getFile()` * `->getFileError()` * `->getFileName()` * `->getFileNames()` * `->getFilePath()` * `->getFileSize()` * `->getFileType()` * `->hasFile()` * `->hasFileError()` * `->hasFileErrors()` * `->hasFiles()` * `->getFileValue()` * `->getFileValues()` * `->getFileExtension()` * `->moveFile()` `->initialize()` methods ------------------------ Most symfony core classes are initialized thanks to a `->initialize()` method. As of symfony 1.1, this method is automatically called by `__construct()`, so, there is no need to call it by yourself. Configuration files loading --------------------------- Some core classes can be configured with a `.yml` file: *Class* | *Configuration file* -------------------- | -------------------------------- `sfAction` | `security.yml` `sfAutoload` | `autoload.yml` `sfConfigCache` | `config_handlers.yml` `sfContext` | `factories.yml` `sfController` | `generator.yml` and `module.yml` `sfDatabaseManager` | `databases.yml` `sfFilterChain` | `filters.yml` `sfI18N` | `i18n.yml` `sfPatternRouting` | `routing.yml` `sfPHPView` | `view.yml` `sfViewCacheManager` | `cache.yml` In symfony 1.1, the loading of the configuration file for ''independant'' sub-frameworks has been moved to a `loadConfiguration()` method to ease decoupling and reuse them without needing the whole framework: * `sfDatabaseManager` * `sfI18N` * `sfPatternRouting` So, for example, if you need a database manager in your batch script, you will have to change from: [php] $databaseManager = new sfDatabaseManager(); $databaseManager->initialize(); to: [php] $configuration = ProjectConfiguration::getApplicationConfiguration($application, $env, true); $databaseManager = new sfDatabaseManager($configuration); $databaseManager->loadConfiguration(); The `initialize()` call is not needed anymore (see the point above). Web Debug --------- The `web_debug` entry in `filters.yml` must be removed as the `sfWebDebugFilter` has been removed. The web debug toolbar is now injected in the response thanks to a listener. The `project:upgrade1.1` task makes all those changes for you. Session timeout --------------- The `sf_timeout` setting is not used anymore. To change the session timeout, you now have to edit `factories.yml` instead of the `settings.yml`, and change the parameters of the `user` factory: [yml] all: user: class: myUser param: timeout: 1800 # session timeout in seconds Routing configuration --------------------- The `sf_suffix`, `sf_default_module`, and `sf_default_action` settings are not used anymore. To change the default suffix, module, or action, you now have to edit `factories.yml` instead of `settings.yml`, and change the parameters of the `routing` factory: [yml] all: routing: class: sfPatternRouting param: load_configuration: true suffix: . # Default suffix for generated URLs. If set to a single dot (.), no suffix is added. Possible values: .html, .php, and so on. default_module: default # Default module and action to be called when default_action: index # A routing rule doesn't set it `php.yml` configuration file ---------------------------- The `php.yml` configuration file has been removed. The only setting you will have to check by hand is `log_errors`, which was set to `on` by `php.yml`. `php.yml` is replaced by the `check_configuration.php` utility you can find in `data/bin`. It checks your environment against symfony requirements. You can launch it from anywhere: $ php /path/to/symfony/data/bin/check_configuration.php Even if you can use this utility from the command line, it's strongly recommended to launch it from the web by copying it under your web root directory as PHP can use different php.ini configuration files for the CLI and the web. `$sf_symfony_data_dir` removal ------------------------------ In symfony 1.1, `$sf_symfony_data_dir` has been removed. All relevant files and directories from the symfony `data` directory have been moved to the `lib` directory: *Old Location* | *New Location* ---------------------- | ----------------------------- `data/config` | `lib/config/config` `data/i18n` | `lib/i18n/data` `data/skeleton` | `lib/task/generator/skeleton` `data/modules/default` | `lib/controller/default` `data/web/errors` | `lib/exception/data` `data/exception.*` | `lib/exception/data` The symfony core has been upgraded to take these changes into account. sfLoader -------- All `sfLoader` static methods (except `::getHelperDirs()` and `::loadHelpers()`) have been moved to the `sfProjectConfiguration` and `sfApplicationConfiguration` classes: * `sfProjectConfiguration`: * `->getGeneratorSkeletonDirs()` * `->getGeneratorTemplate()` * `->getGeneratorTemplateDirs()` * `->getModelDirs()` * `sfApplicationConfiguration`: * `->getControllerDirs()` * `->getTemplateDirs()` * `->getTemplateDir()` * `->getTemplatePath()` * `->getI18NGlobalDirs()` * `->getI18NDirs()` * `->getConfigPaths()` sfCore ------ The `sfCore` has been removed. The code has been moved to `sfProjectConfiguration`, `sfApplicationConfiguration`, and `sfContext` classes. Front Controllers ----------------- All front controllers have to be upgraded. The SF_DEBUG, SF_APP, SF_ENVIRONMENT, and SF_ROOT_DIR constants are gone. If you use some of these constants in your project, please use their sfConfig::get('') counterparts: *Old* | *New* ----------------- | --------------------------------- `SF_ROOT_DIR` | `sfConfig::get('sf_root_dir')` `SF_ENVIRONMENT` | `sfConfig::get('sf_environment')` `SF_APP` | `sfConfig::get('sf_app')` `SF_DEBUG` | `sfConfig::get('sf_debug')` The `project:upgrade1.1` task upgrades all front controllers for you. If you made some customizations, symfony will issue a warning and won't upgrade them automatically. You can then copy the default skeleton from symfony: /path/to/symfony/lib/task/generator/skeleton/app/web/index.php config.php ---------- All `config.php` files have been removed. The are replaced by the `ProjectConfiguration` class and the application configuration classes. If you've added some cutomizations in `config.php` files, you will have to migrate them to those new classes. Directory structure ------------------- All `sfConfig` constants ending with `_dir_name` have been removed. Cache keys ---------- The `sfViewCacheManager::removePattern()` and `sfToolkit::clearGlob()` don't work anymore for removing several cache parts at once. But the `sfViewCacheManager::remove()` now accepts internal URIs with wildcards. So you can replace: $cacheManager->removePattern('*/all/user/show/id/*'); By: $cacheManager->remove('user/show?id=*', '*', 'all'); This also works for partials and contextual partials. You can then replace: $cacheManager->removePattern('/sf_cache_partial/user/_my_partial/sf_cache_key/*'); By: $cacheManager->remove('@sf_cache_partial?module=user&action=_my_partial&sf_cache_key=*'); And the biggets benefit is that it allows you to clear 'glob' URIs in *any* cache factory, not only the `sfFileCache`. Layout ------ The action template variables are not available anymore in the layout. This means that the layout only has access to **global** variables (all `sf_` variables) and variables registered via the `template.filter_parameters` event. Refer to this wiki page for more information on how to upgrade: http://trac.symfony-project.com/wiki/Symfony11LayoutUpgrade Tasks ----- The symfony command line task names have changed. They now use a namespace syntax. The old task names still work--they are just aliases for the new task names. Here is a table showing the name changes: Old task name | New task name ------------------------- | ---------------- clear-cache | cache:clear clear-controllers | project:clear-controllers disable | project:disable downgrade | [Not implemented] enable | project:enable fix-perms | project:permissions freeze | project:freeze init-app | generate:app init-batch | [Not implemented] init-controller | [Not implemented] init-module | generate:module init-project | generate:project log-purge | log:clear log-rotate | log:rotate plugin-install | plugin:install plugin-list | plugin:list plugin-uninstall | plugin:uninstall plugin-upgrade | plugin:upgrade propel-build-all | propel:build-all propel-build-all-load | propel:build-all-load propel-build-db | propel:build-db propel-build-model | propel:build-model propel-build-schema | propel:build-schema propel-build-sql | propel:build-sql propel-convert-xml-schema | propel:schema-to-yml propel-convert-yml-schema | propel:schema-to-xml propel-dump-data | propel:data-dump propel-generate-crud | propel:generate-crud propel-init-admin | propel:init-admin propel-init-crud | [Not implemented] propel-insert-sql | propel:insert-sql propel-load-data | propel:data-load sync | project:deploy test-all | test:all test-functional | test:functional test-unit | test:unit unfreeze | project:unfreeze upgrade | project:freeze As before, if you want to list the available tasks, just call the `symfony` command with no argument: > php symfony NOTE to early adopters ---------------------- If you have upgraded your project and have a `lib/ProjectConfiguration.class.php` file, then you need to upgrade your project manually before being able to launch the `project:upgrade1.1` task. Here is how: * Move `lib/ProjectConfiguration.class.php` to `config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php` * Change the path to symfony in `config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php` if needed. * Move all your application configuration classes (`lib/$APP_NAME$Configuration.class.php`) to their respective `apps/$APP_NAME$/config/` directory. * Remove the `require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/ProjectConfiguration.class.php';` in all the application configuration classes. * Change the location of `ProjectConfiguration.class.php` in the main `symfony` script to `config/` * Change your front controllers so they look like this: [php] dispatch(); You can now launch the `project:upgrade1.1` script to finish the upgrade.
