symfony/flex

This system is Symfony Flex v2, a Composer plugin that automates the installation, configuration, and updating of Symfony recipes. It manages project setup by modifying configuration files such as bundles, services, and environment variables, while also supporting Docker integration and frontend dependency synchronization. The tool provides CLI commands for dumping environment variables and synchronizing recipe states, ensuring consistent project structure across different environments.

This period focused on initializing the repository structure and upgrading Symfony Flex to version 2, which introduced a new core architecture driven by a dedicated Configurator system. The work established specialized configurators for managing recipe installations and updates across various project files, supported by comprehensive test coverage to ensure consistent behavior.

This period focused on expanding Symfony Flex's capabilities by introducing new CLI commands for environment dumping and comprehensive recipe management, including installation, listing, and updating. Significant effort was dedicated to hardening the recipe update logic to prevent accidental file deletion and ensuring robust patch application. The work was supported by extensive additions to the test suite, covering core components, new commands, and complex fixture scenarios for Sylius plugins.

Symfony Flex now uses a dedicated Configurator system to manage recipe installations, updates, and removals. This change introduces a suite of specialized configurators—such as BundlesConfigurator for managing bundles.php, ContainerConfigurator for services.yaml parameters, DotenvConfigurator for .env files, and DockerComposeConfigurator/DockerfileConfigurator for Docker support—alongside base classes like AbstractConfigurator and AddLinesConfigurator. This architecture centralizes how recipes modify project files, ensuring consistent handling of configuration updates and unconfigurations across different file types.

Added the \Operation\ and \Result\ classes in the \src/Unpack\ namespace to support the new Composer package unpacking capability. The \Operation\ class manages the configuration for whether packages should be unpacked and sorted, while the \Result\ class tracks which packages have been successfully unpacked and which are required, ensuring the command always has at least one package to process.

This change introduces four new console commands to \src/Command\: \symfony:dump-env\ (aliased as \dump-env\) compiles \.env\ files into a PHP array in \.env.local.php\ for faster environment loading, supporting an \--empty\ flag to ignore existing content; \symfony:recipes:install\ (aliased as \sync-recipes\ and \fix-recipes\) installs or reinstalls recipes for existing packages, with options to force overwrite (\--force\), reset to initial state (\--reset\), or auto-confirm (\--yes\); \symfony:recipes\ lists available or outdated recipes; and \symfony:recipes:update\ applies patches to update installed recipes to their latest versions, handling conflicts and generating changelogs.

The recipe update system now checks if files marked for deletion by a recipe are still referenced by other installed recipes before removing them. If a file is locked by another recipe, it is preserved and a warning is displayed to the user, preventing accidental loss of functionality. Additionally, the update process now correctly handles modified files that have been deleted in the user's project by excluding their patches from the final diff, and ensures patch files end with a blank line for valid git application.

This change introduces the core classes for Symfony Flex v2, including the main plugin entry point (Flex.php), the recipe downloader (Downloader.php), and the configurator system (Configurator.php) that manages recipe installation and updates. It adds a new Lock class to manage the symfony.lock file, a PackageFilter to handle version constraints, and a PackageJsonSynchronizer to keep frontend dependencies in sync. The update process is now driven by a dedicated UpdateEvent and an InformationOperation class, allowing for more granular control over recipe updates and version resolution.

The repository has been initialized with standard configuration files to support development and distribution. A .gitattributes file is added to exclude development-specific files (such as .github, .travis.yml, and tests) from exported archives. A .php-cs-fixer.dist.php file establishes code style rules based on the Symfony standard. A LICENSE file (MIT) and a README.md file are added to define usage terms and provide project documentation. Additionally, a phpunit.xml.dist configuration file is introduced to define the test suite and source coverage, and the obsolete SymfonyStartPlugin.php file is removed.

Added test coverage for Flex configurators; Added test fixtures for Sylius plugins; Added test fixtures for the recipe update system; Added test suite for Symfony Flex core components; Added tests for dump-env and recipe management commands; Added unit tests for the recipe update system.

The Symfony Flex package has been upgraded to version 2, raising the minimum PHP version to 8.1 and requiring Composer 2.1 or later. This update also renames the package from 'symfony/symfony-start-composer' to 'symfony/flex', updates the autoloading to PSR-4 under the 'Symfony\\Flex' namespace, and bumps development dependencies including PHPUnit to v12.4 and Symfony components (dotenv, filesystem, process) to versions 6.4, 7.4, and 8.0. Additionally, test fixtures for package.json synchronization and recipe updates have been added to support these changes.
